I utilize a strength-based approach with children, teens, and adults in providing them the tools they need to appropriate cope, problem-solve, and achieve emotional awareness.
I am a clinician focused on fostering growth, personal change, and self-empowerment with individuals and families. I love nothing more than knowing that a client and family are able to find new solutions and acquire new skills to achieve positive outcomes through therapy. I recognize that it is crucial to build a safe, warm, non-judgmental, and supportive environment for each client and to work collaboratively towards goal achievement.

Although I specialize in working with children and adolescents, I am also eager to work with adults, and families.
“There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t,” by John Green has always been one of my favorite quotes. As an advocate, I have continuously encouraged individuals to see a therapist. When life feels challenging it may be easy to tell yourself that there is no hope; however, it is my priority to remind you that there is. Therapy is not only for those who are managing something difficult, it can also be for someone who is adjusting to a positive change. It can be for a child starting at a new school, or an adult preparing to marry their soulmate.

I primarily see children and adolescents, but I also enjoy working with couples and adults as well.
We are all complex beings filled with unique experiences, emotions, and our own ways of handling stressful and unpredictable situations. From time to time when we don’t fully understand how to handle events that are going on in our lives, we need someone to walk with us through those tough times. As a mental health counselor, I want to walk with you as you navigate through your journey and help you find your way to the answers you are looking for.

I view counseling and therapy as a conversation. It is my goal to help my clients identify and define what they value in life. Most negative emotions that we experience in life are due to frustrated efforts at achieving the things we value. Often we stand in the way of our own happiness due to unexamined expectations. I believe progress comes through increased awareness and understanding of one's core beliefs about self, others, and the world. I purpose to serve as a sounding board to this growth in awareness and understanding.
