About

People always ask, "Do I really need to go to therapy?" And my answer is therapy is a useful resource for everyone! Whether you are looking to work on self-exploration, would like an unbiased and objective place to process your thoughts and feelings, or want to work through unresolved trauma- or anything in between- therapy is a wonderful and useful tool! With over 18 years of experience in the field, I offer a supportive and constructive space for you to identify and work on your individualized goals. I have experience with both individuals and couples and have skills to tackle problems ranging from mental health to substance abuse. The benefit of having eclectic work experience is that I offer a wide array of mental health and substance abuse interventions. The therapeutic approaches used include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Holistic Therapy. I also have had the pleasure of working extensively with members of law enforcement and first responders making me a resource for individuals seeking support to work through and manage the inherently difficult and oftentimes traumatic nature of their jobs. Choosing the right therapist is a difficult and personal choice, one that may take some time and research. I invite you to reach out and ask questions to see if I am the right fit for you. Ultimately, my goal for anyone seeking therapy, is that you find a counselor you can connect with and find success working with.
