About

Are you experiencing Hopelessness, Sadness, Worthlessness, Panic Attacks, Racing Thoughts, or Fear? Do you lay awake at night WORRYING about EVERYTHING? Are your worries or fears a constant cycle? Do you avoid interaction with loved ones, or maybe you don't want to be a burden to family or friends, so you begin isolating from everyone? Do you ever say, “I can’t take this anymore?” Do you feel alone in your problems? You are not alone. Assisting adults redefine life is my passion and purpose. I have extensive clinical experience treating mild to chronic mental health challenges, with a focus on depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, isolating from loved ones, relationship challenges, health crisis, midlife crisis, or struggling to move forward in life.

As a Psychotherapist I have over 15 years' experience instilling hope, empowering, and educating patients and families about mental health challenges and the stigmas attached. I've helped patients rediscover joy and find purpose while transitioning through critical life stages. I utilize the most current and effective evidence based clinical modalities, with an emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with the following modalities; Trauma Focused, Humanistic, Solution Focused Brief (SFBT), Cognitive Processing (CPT), Psychoanalytic, Motivational Interviewing, Structural Family, Psychodynamic, Interpersonal, Attachment-based, Acceptance & Commitment (ACT), Codependency Behavioral, Positive Psychology, Strength-Based, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Mindfulness-Based (MBCT), and Behavior Modification. Together we'll develop an effective treatment plan for stability and long-term coping skills.

It is imperative for clinicians to encourage self-acceptance, support patient's rights to self-determination, assist with embracing change, and recognizing each patient's personal strengths to aid in recovery. I exercise clear boundaries, sound clinical judgement, and practice responsibly within the scope of my profession. Let's redefine your life together!
