Life is full of challenges. I believe that everyone has the right to achieve an engaged, balanced, and satisfying life. Are you ready to start feeling better? You don't have to do it alone.
My approach
I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities including Solution-Focused, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Mindfulness-Based, Narrative, Person-Centered, Strength-Based, Culturally Sensitive, and Trauma-Focused approaches. I tailor my approach to your unique needs to help you achieve your goals.
My focus
I specialize in working with individuals and couples dealing with issues such as Depression, ADHD, Anger Management, Child Abuse or Neglect, Anxiety, Divorce, Grief, Domestic Violence, Life Coaching, Pregnancy/Prenatal/Postpartum concerns, Substance Use, and Trauma and PTSD.
My communication style
Starting therapy can be a difficult decision, but it can open up so many doors for personal growth. I aim to create a warm, non-judgmental space where you feel safe to explore your thoughts and feelings. I can't wait to connect with you!
