As a therapist, I actively work to incorporate your personal experiences, thoughts and feelings into your therapeutic treatment.

Many of us struggle in silence to overcome the challenges we face, but you no longer have to face that battle alone. While the first step is acknowledging the change we need, it takes courage to recognize we need some guidance. It takes even more courage to initiate those first steps toward improving our lives. I specialize in providing therapeutic treatment for clients struggling with a wide variety of issues including, depression, anxiety, clients battling with issues related to sexuality, interpersonal relationship problems, suicidal ideation, and more.

They’re dealing with PTSD, feel trapped in the past, or have crushing depression and anxiety. I work with those in the LGBTQ+ community and others who need an accepting and supportive therapist. My ideal client is motivated to go on this journey with me.
