Oftentimes, people feel alone in their mental health journey and may have a tough time managing things on their own.  If you are struggling day to day, finding it hard to thrive, or feel like you are just going through the motions, I can work with you to build new experiences that support long-term growth.  Change can be difficult, but therapy can be used as a resource to improve your well-being by learning effective coping strategies and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns. A trusted therapist can tap into your strengths and use specialized techniques to help you realize your full potential.

Because we all have unique experiences and values that shape who we are, I believe counseling should be tailored to work best for you. Practical and collaborative in my approach, I draw on evidence-based theories and interventions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-centered Therapy, Solution-focused Therapy, Strength-based interventions, Motivational Interviewing, and Humanistic modalities.

My goal is to help people make positive changes. With your commitment and my education, training, and background, I am confident we can work together to improve your quality of life.
