It is crucial for us to have the courage and motivation to break our own unhealthy cycles and gain insight into our potentials. You deserve a respectful and individualized approach to therapy, and I am committed to helping you create and maintain healthy changes in your life. I am an empathic and supportive therapist who will also be direct and challenge you to move forward to reach your goals. With over seven years of clinical experience, I work with you so you can become your best advocate, strengthen your will to run against self-sabotaging thoughts and behaviors, and find/maintain relationships that will nurture your inner self.

I have worked with individuals experiencing struggles with life transitions, work-related issues, mood disorders, infidelity in intimate partner relationships, and social/family relationships in addition to post-traumatic stress, anxiety, emotional regulation issues, and domestic violence.

I believe our thinking patterns, emotions, and how we decide to behave or deal with hard situations as humans impacts our overall well-being. I am here to support you, and I am dedicated to helping you identify and explore barriers, discuss problem solving, and develop and practice skills you can use outside of session to achieve your goals.
