I am a person-centered therapist whose main focus is on what you need as a client. I believe that therapy should be tailored to each individual, which is why I use a variety of therapeutic methods in an eclectic style designed to suit your unique situation. Whether it's exploring emotions, addressing challenges, or building new coping strategies, I strive to create a supportive and non-judgmental space where you feel empowered to grow and heal. I am always open to trying new approaches that align with your needs and preferences because I understand that each journey is personal. My ultimate goal is to help you discover what would make your life more fulfilling, balanced, prosperous, and manageable, while fostering your ability to thrive in your own way. Together, we will work towards creating meaningful and lasting change.

I have been in the field of social work for over 20 years and have experience in mental health, working with youth, adults, and families in various settings. I have a passion for helping others and am here to create a safe space as I support you through your journey. This journey is about you. Therefore, you will set the goals you want to achieve, and I can empower you with the tools to conquer them. In my free time, you will find me focusing on my own self-care while hiking, biking, running, or golfing.

As a therapist, I believe I work for you because no one knows you better than you know yourself. I will walk with you on your journey to healing and help you discover the roots of your issues. I am committed to supporting you in finding solutions that will facilitate your growth, bring you peace, and enable you to embrace your authentic self, living a life of fulfillment and prosperity. I am well-educated in addiction studies, trauma, and co-occurring disorders. My goal as your therapist is to provide you with a safe space to be yourself, connect with your honest emotions, and express whatever you need to say without judgment. I emphasize an approach that includes compassion, authenticity, and understanding as we work together to find courage, embrace healing, and actualize the potential that has been within you all along. I feel passionate about trauma-informed therapy perspectives, Internal Family Systems, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing practices, and mindfulness skills for healing, balance, and for connecting to our internal experiences.

Therapy is truly a unique process for each individual. It takes bravery to embark on a journey toward greater mental health. Humans are incredibly resilient, and I enjoy watching my clients experience life-changing transformations. I strive to build a safe and trusting environment where my clients feel supported throughout their healing journey. My goals include building rapport, providing emotional encouragement, offering psychoeducation, engaging in collaborative problem-solving, and utilizing new skills to foster positive long-term change. I desire to see my clients thrive in all areas of their lives and consider it an honor to be part of their healing journey!
