My mission is to provide quality mental health counseling services to adolescents and adults seeking healthier solutions and support. An important factor in effective psychotherapy is the client/therapist relationship. This means that you must have a strong therapeutic alliance. Trust, honesty, and a sense of unconditional support and attunement allow individuals in psychotherapy the ability to grow and change. You can be assured that you will not be alone in this process, as I will partner with you during your personal journey. Our partnership will be combined with client-centered and evidence-based interventions. My diverse experiences consist of working within therapeutic high schools, partial and intensive outpatient programs, care management and mental health clinics. These endeavors have given me a strong foundation in understanding individual and family needs; assisting individuals develop and maintain sustainable resources and supports.
