As a practical, interactive, solution-focused therapist, my treatment approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients resolve current problems and long-standing patterns. With sensitivity and compassion, I help clients find solutions to a wide range of life challenges and psychological issues. Blending conventional and alternative approaches, I draw on a variety of styles and techniques to incorporate what will be most helpful for each client. I help people build on their strengths in order to identify and achieve life goals. I provide individual, family, couples,and group counseling on weekdays, evenings, and weekends. Treatment specialization includes: •ADHD •Anger Management •Depression and Anxiety •Medical and Health Concerns •Grief and Loss •Social Skills Training •Self Esteem •Addiction & Recovery •Parenting and Family Issues •Sexual and Relationship Problems •Work and Career Issues

While comfortable with clients of all ages, I am particularly passionate about working with adolescents and young adults. I love helping clients learn to manage anxiety, become more self-compassionate, and develop a greater sense of self-worth. ​My approach is all about discovering your resilience and helping you bloom. I believe in empowering my clients with practical tools and knowledge in a nurturing, non-judgmental environment. I’m warm, yet direct, and love working with people who are ready to make lasting changes. I believe in a holistic approach to therapy, focusing on overall wellness. I incorporate elements of mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, and a strengths-based approach into my practice.
