About
One of my goals is to provide a safe environment, so you feel comfortable discussing difficult life challenges. I guide you throughout the therapeutic process to help ease any anxiety regarding therapy. I utilize a strength-based approach to help you find healing through adversity. My work is motivated by my humanistic philosophy that there is empowerment in striving to meet full personal potential. I am passionate about helping others find healing, improve their quality of life, and achieve their therapeutic goals. I am qualified to work with first responders, physicians, military members, and those experiencing complex trauma.
I have helped individuals work through concerns such as trauma, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, body image issues, personality disorders, performance anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and couples counseling. I treat individuals/couples utilizing EMDR, CPT, Gottman Method, and CBT therapy.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I lost my father to suicide and decided to formulate my business and business plan based on wanting to ensure all individuals can receive mental healthcare treatment, despite financial concerns.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Please know it can take a few mismatches with therapists to find the right one for you. Please don't give up hope! The right fit IS out there for YOU. Take advantage of free consultations to better determine if a therapist is a good fit for you!
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
I would encourage you to think about what your needs are before meeting with a therapist. Think about what you need your therapist to do and how they can best help you with obtaining your therapy goals. This allows you to be the captain of your treatment plan and it assists you in determining if your therapist is a good fit for you.
