I bring extensive experience from various settings, including treatment centers, community programs, group therapy, and correctional facilities, where I've had the privilege of working with adolescents, young adults, and adults. My approach is rooted in evidence-based therapies, tailored to support meaningful behavioral changes. I deeply understand the mental health challenges that can emerge from incarceration and the unique stressors that accompany the journey of rebuilding life afterward. I’m also dedicated to supporting the family members and loved ones of those struggling with addiction or incarceration, helping them navigate their own emotional journeys with compassion and care. Additionally, I work closely with parents and families of children with complex behavioral issues, providing guidance and support to help them create a nurturing environment for their child’s growth and well-being. In addition to this, I have experience helping clients through significant life transitions, such as starting a family, navigating college, or going through a divorce. I understand how overwhelming these changes can be and am here to provide empathetic support and practical tools to help my clients find stability and confidence during these times. I’m committed to walking alongside my clients and their families as they navigate these difficult transitions, offering understanding and support every step of the way.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we’ll take the time to explore the challenges you're facing and envision the outcomes you hope to achieve. Together, we’ll work closely to develop a personalized treatment plan that’s not just about making changes, but about empowering you with the skills to navigate your journey. As we move through therapy, you’ll gain not only the tools to address your current issues but also a deeper understanding of your past, helping you to create meaningful and lasting change in your life.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
In our sessions together, you’ll find a warm and supportive space where you’re encouraged to grow and challenge yourself in a compassionate way. I understand that deciding to come to therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if previous approaches haven’t worked as you hoped. If you’re ready to explore new paths and embrace a bit of challenge, I’d love to hear from you. I’m currently welcoming new clients and am here to help you find practical solutions for immediate relief. My approach is both direct and caring, with a touch of humor to keep our conversations relaxed and engaging. I strive to create an environment where you feel comfortable and supported, without taking things too seriously.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I believe that the goal of therapy is to address the problem by exploring how the issue developed and creating a specific plan to move forward. In session, you will feel encouraged and supported, but you will also be appropriately challenged. These challenges may cause you to feel uncomfortable, but it is important to remember that, through discomfort, comes change. I am a firm believer that most of the progress and change happens outside of the session. Therefore, I rely heavily on homework assignments, skills development, and community resources. During the intake session, we can talk more about specific techniques that are most helpful for you.
