My commitment to you is to show up fully prepared and keep an open mind as I support you in finding your own path and writing your own story. I have experience in helping clients process traumatic experiences, and navigate family conflicts, parenting issues, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and anger management. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for taking this risk and giving it a try. My approach Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Approach, My focus In some capacity, I have always worked with kids (5-19), but I also have experience working with individuals, couples, and groups. I treat PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, DMDD, ODD, substance abuse, just to name a few. My communication style I believe I am a good listener and I never rush into giving advice. I would rather help guide you in finding your own answers. There is power in YOU being an active participant in solving your own problems. YOU are the expert in your life.

Connecting with people, advocating for those in need, and helping others have always been my strengths. This job is simply an opportunity to apply myself. My goals for you I like to use our first session together to get to know each other and gain more insight into what your goals are in therapy. I will hold you accountable for the commitments you make to work towards those goals, but I will do so with empathy. I will help you set goals that are SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-Bound.
