Therapy Style
I have a high level of expertise working with people experiencing daily stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions and relationship difficulties. I specialize in working with young adults and utilize many Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused approaches.
Therapy does not need to be scary nor dull. My clients would say I come across as competent and compassionate. No one deserves to do life alone. I look forward to being on your team and tackling challenges together one step at a time.

Why did you become a mental health professional?
Frankly, life is hard and no one should have to do it alone. I see supporting others through the ups and downs of life as both my passion and purpose.
What are your interests outside of work?
Perusing the aisles of Trader Joe's and finding new snacks to try.
What is one thing you do daily that supports your well-being?
Setting healthy boundaries and giving myself permission to say 'no'.
Do you have any pets?
My cat Romeo likes to 'participate' in video therapy sessions now and again. I can't say he has much in the way of expertise or skill, but at least he is cute!
