Hello, and welcome. I’m glad you’re here. For most, starting therapy can be pretty intimidating. I’m here to help make this process as easy as possible for you. You can expect genuine, compassionate, and empathetic care from me. The relationship between client and therapist is key to success, and I take great care to develop a trusting and therapeutic relationship with each individual. With over 10 years of experience in mental health, I have a special interest in treating adolescents and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, loss, acute PTSD, ADHD, panic disorders, chronic health issues, life transitions, and burnout. I utilize a cognitive behavioral approach to therapy and enjoy incorporating aspects of mindfulness while individualizing each client's treatment. Making the call is the first step. I look forward to working together and helping you on your journey toward a better, happier life.
