Great to meet you!

I am a firm believer that everything in life should be a balance. Reality becomes that some days the scale tips to the other side, and we find ourselves feeling stressed, alone, hopeless, angry and impulsive. We begin to search for an answer or a way to fill that void that we feel. My Job is to listen, to be supportive, to be genuine and to assist in guiding you to find that balance in your life that you are searching for.

A bit about my approach to therapy

With approximately 10 years of experience, I have worked in different settings, in different modalities and with different clients; specializing in working with and through trauma, grief, substance use, behavioral issues and mood disorders. I utilize CBT, T-CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing and other modalities. I work with kids, teens, adults and elderly

What you can expect from our first session

Let us take this journey together. You want a change in your life for the moment or for the future, and I want to assist in helping you get there. We do not need to live through the hard times alone. As cliche as it is, I do believe there is a silver lining in everything, meaning let me help try to reconnect you with the hope and light you are looking for.
