As a humanistic therapist, I approach each session with unconditional positive regard for my clients. You don't have to do anything but be yourself. I believe clients have the ability to achieve self-determination. I will encourage you to decide your therapy goals and travel with you on your journey.

Sometimes life can throw you a curve ball and you need some support making a shift or a tune up on what you've already learned, better yet, just getting started and need someone who understands how difficult that can be. My goal is to support you and allow you to find your strength to work through what might have you stuck.

I am particularly skilled in treating Trauma-related disorders, Mood Disorders, ADHD, Anxiety Disorders, and Couples and Family Systems Theories. I employ a reality-based and solution-focused approach to practice, incorporating Cognitive/Behavioral and Neo-Psychodynamic theory to guide the treatment experience.

I support children, adolescents, and young adults (25 and under) navigating emotional challenges, building resilience, and strengthening relationships. Whether you're a teen, young adult, or parent seeking support, therapy is tailored to your unique needs and goals.

I bring both counseling and nursing backgrounds to my work. That combination has been an asset for me. I'm pretty eclectic and also use CBT, depending on a client's needs.

My goal is to help you maximize your wellness and functionality. Life happens – chronic illness and pain, infertility, divorce, etc. My goal is to help you adjust to your new ‘normal’ and to restore your mental health to a place where you can cope and function effectively regardless of circumstances.

I grew up in a culture where mental health struggles remained hidden and people suffered in silence. Even as a child, I imagined better ways to support those facing these challenges. I'm committed to helping individuals, couples, families, and groups develop coping skills to navigate life's behavioral and emotional challenges.
