1.
Individual Therapy
As a psychotherapist I am honored to work with individuals who are ready to transform their lives.
2.
Children & Adolescent
Therapy
I support children & teens through various life and family transitions using clinically proven integrative interventions such as solution-focused brief therapy to help them develop healthy coping skills.
3.
Family
Therapy
I empower families to overcome personal obstacles to improve their lives and relationships. Using clinically tested and evidenced-based interventions, I enjoy engaging people in the process of positive change.
4.
Trauma &
Crisis Therapy
It's not easy moving past the pain. I believe bringing your personal narrative into therapy provides a vehicle for self-discovery.
My Approach
I believe that psychotherapy requires a whole-person, nonjudgemental approach that celebrates each individual. We come from different walks of life and have different stories that influence where we are now and the decisions we make.
