My approach
My holistic therapeutic approach is interactive, empathic, and directive. I will partner with you consistently in a safe, non-judgmental, confidential, and nurturing environment to gain an understanding of your barriers. As a Therapist, I will focus on your strengths to empower you to make healthier life choices to overcome obstacles to improve relationships with yourself and others.

I specialize in working with adults, families, and groups from various backgrounds. I am proficient in treating psychosocial stressors related to mental health, substance abuse, interpersonal/intrapersonal conflicts, work/life balance, relationship dysfunction, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and coping skills. I am willing to see individuals, couples, minors (ages 13-17), families, children (ages 5-7), and preteens (ages 8-12).

My first session with you
In our first session, we will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, your goals, and what you hope to achieve through our work together.

We will collaborate to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and goals.
