About My Clients

My expertise is working with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, relationship issues, self-esteem/body image concerns, substance abuse, work stress and anger management.

My Background and Approach

My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space to facilitate your journey to healing. Taking the fist step can be uncomfortable, but you do not need to do it alone. I utilize an array of therapeutic interventions that are person-centered and solution-focused.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone has the ability to change and grow at any point in their lives. I don't believe that there is a limit to human capacity. I think the main reason we develop mental health issues is because they are unhealthy learned behaviors that we have picked up along the way. If you’d like to learn more about how I can help, send me a message. I look forward to learning more about you!
