I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, with a Masters degree in Counseling Education, who is happy to join you on your mental health wellness journey! The work we do will involve thoughtfully taking a look at your life, empowering you based on your strengths, and facing challenges with the right supports in place. We will compassionately see your potential to heal and thrive throughout the course of our therapeutic conversations.

I am a psychotherapist who specializes in working with adolescents and adults. I help people suffering from a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, addiction such as drugs/alcohol and gambling. I use a strength based, person centered approach in order to guide clients through the discomfort, pain and dissatisfaction that life can sometimes bring. I work in partnership with clients in order to help them achieve growth and increased satisfaction in their daily lives.

I enjoy working with all different types of people, helping them identify their strengths and develop coping skills and strategies to help improve their lives. I utilize components of CBT and psychodynamic psychotherapy in my practice, and work collaboratively with individuals during therapy.

I am an empathetic and warm person who cares deeply about helping my clients. It is my goal to create a judgement-free space where you feel open and safe to express yourself and be free. Together, we can create genuine personal growth.

I am nonjudgmental and open-minded

I approach the conversations without preconceived notions or judgements

I encourage openness and honesty

Let the clients know that they can speak freely and their honesty is appreciated and important
