Finding the right therapist can be challenging, and I applaud you for taking the first step toward a more meaningful you. I provide ways for individuals, couples, and families to cope with life's difficulties and find individualized paths to healing and self-determination. Each session is tailored to your unique needs and goals.

My focus

I work with individuals, couples, families, and young adults struggling with life transitions, anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, and building coping skills. Whether you're seeking personal growth or working through obstacles, we'll create an empowering and achievable plan together. You deserve to live a fulfilled life.

My approach

You are unique, so I use a variety of approaches throughout our sessions. These include Client-Centered Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotional Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I combine empathy and practical tools to help you find relief and build confidence.
