About

Navigating through life can be overwhelming or challenging. There might be times where you, or your child may struggle with anxiety, depression, school issues, relationships, life transitions, or with navigating the challenges of adulthood. My goal is to meet you where you are, and for us to work together to develop goals and work towards growth. As a clinician I strive to develop a therapeutic relationship with all my clients and families, that supports self-exploration and empowerment. I utilize a strength-based perspective to increase self-awareness/esteem and enhance coping skills to help in difficult situations.

My therapeutic style is collaborative, non-judgmental, and holistic. I use a combination of techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Play-Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, tailored to meet the needs of each individual client.

Everyone deserves support and guidance on challenges they may face throughout their journey. Together, we will develop a treatment plan that will help get you through what you, or your child may be experiencing and work towards improving your quality of life.
