About My Clients

I enjoy working with those who want to improve their overall mental and physical health to be the best version and maintain this mindset. I offer challenging, spotting, and modifying your unhealthy thoughts to be healthy and adaptive with different models such as Play therapy, Polyvagal, CBT, TF-CBT, REBT, EMDR, DBT, etc. I treat many issues such as anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, ADHD, OCD, self esteem, and mood disorders. I look forward to helping you!

My Background and Approach

I am straightforward and informal and attack the problem-not the person. I approach therapy using people's own strengths, while challenging unhealthy thoughts, and replacing them with healthy, productive thoughts to increase optimal functioning. I provide many tools, insight, perspective, problem solving, and strengths to accommodate each client. My goal is to increase your daily functioning by decreasing, eliminating and/or managing what life throws at us. I have 12 years of experiencing treating kids, young adults, adults, first responders, military with trauma, depression, grief, anxiety and PTSD. My overall goal is to help you feel and get better in a collaborative process.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe everyone has the strengths to change; however, not all strengths are the same. I use each person's skills, abilities, and experiences to increase their mental health.
