A bit about my approach to therapy

As an active therapist, I combine experience, education, creativity, and a sense of humor with a down-to-earth and realistic approach to counseling. Through exploration of biological, psychological, social, and spiritual needs, we will use a multi-dimensional and evidence-based therapeutic approach to address life's challenges, anxiety, depression or pain.

What you can expect from our first session

Counseling and assessments are healing processes. Through an environment of compassion and support, we will walk together as you heal from trauma, build self-worth, improve relationships, reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and reach your therapeutic goals.
