Welcome...

I am passionate about the counseling journey and find it an honor to come along side individual, teens, and families to help them navigate their concerns and begin living their lives fully present.  My goal is to provide a safe and trusting environment where thoughts, feelings and behavior patterns can be explored setting the state for growth and transformation.  My approach to therapy is respectful, warm and interactive.  I value a strong therapeutic alliance as a basis for personal growth.  I also find it essential working with adolescents to build a strong rapport as a foundation to further enhance the therapeutic process. 

I am happy to address a variety of needs but have special training or interest in providing therapy for clients presenting with trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, life transition issues, adolescent specific issues, identity issues, prenatal and self-harm behaviors.  My therapeutic approach will vary depending on my assessment of each individual or family and their needs.  My style is rooted in the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and take a collaborative approach.  Therefore, I am integrative and eclectic using solution focused techniques, EMDR, stress management, parenting support, and utilization of coping strategies.
