I was drawn to this profession from a very young age because of a strong desire I felt to be an active part of the community, to connect with people, and to help individuals and families live more balanced meaningful lives. I continue to feel inspired by the work I do and the progress I see my clients make every day.

My Approach

We all face difficult times in life. Many people use therapy to help achieve change in a healthier, more fulfilling lifestyle. This is done through healing and personal growth from our life experiences, and by increasing self-awareness and coping skills for life challenges. I work with adolescents and adults on issues such as trauma and stress-related disorders such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, adjustment disorder, reunification issues, stress management, and life transitions.

​

I provide a safe environment of dignity, respect, compassion, and support. As a therapist, I am warm, encouraging, and direct. I combine experience, education, and a realistic approach to therapy. I work to provide clients with tailored treatment plans that can be integrated into their daily lives, help them feel empowered, feel more insightful, support their healing and become the healthiest version of themselves.
