About

I am proud of you for taking the first step towards wanting to resolve whatever has been troubling you lately by considering therapy. Maybe you are here because you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated and don’t know why? Perhaps worry is keeping you up at night? Do you feel so down it’s difficult to follow through with plans? Whether you are going through a transition in your life, struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse, or looking to improve relationships, I can help you. Together we will determine goals, enhance your strengths and explore areas you wish to improve. Therapy is a place to be heard, understood, cared for, validated, and empowered. It is a collaboration in a safe, non-judgmental space to allow you to be the expert in your life. I have been a therapist for over 10 years and have worked in providing outpatient services to individuals from varied backgrounds and life experiences. My training in working with various age groups ranging from 12 years to 90 years young has taught me that it is never too late to seek help. The common theme that I have witnessed from my clients is that they want to experience joy, acceptance, and tranquility. I look forward to hearing from you and joining you on your journey towards the change you want to achieve.
