About My Clients

Are you struggling with life changes? Are you stressed over your recent relapse from drugs or alcohol? or do you feel unsafe because of an abusive partner? All these scenarios can be terrifying, and I don't want you to suffer alone in silence anymore. I am a Solution-Focused, Cognitive Behavioral, and Integrated Family counselor. I want to teach you coping skills, help you achieve your goals, and take back your life. I can't wait to meet with you!

My Background and Approach

The tools that I provide you have been helping people like you for the past four years. My goal is for you is to have a set of coping skills, goals that are achievable, and a support group if needed. The client's that I work with usually have mild to moderate depression, relapse from substances, domestic violence for an intimate partner, eating disorders in remission, First responders' treatment, and some case management, I offer CBT, Grounding techniques, Solution Focused Therapy, Exposure Therapy, and Integrated Family Therapy. I want to work with you when you feel like you don't have any options and you are trying to find relief. We will discuss how to cope, and how to use specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-based goals. Also, we will work on coping, scaling, and do one thing different question. You will gain perspective and use these skills in the future.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe everyone can change ONLY if they want to and if they are willing to participate in therapy. I hope that you are willing to work, learn healthier behaviors, and cope with whatever curve balls life throws at you. I offer individual teletherapy and group therapy for people that have a busy schedule.
