I am a compassionate licensed marriage and family therapist with nearly 10 years of experience, treating depression and anxiety, using evidence-based practices. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-focused therapeutic interventions when working with my clients. I collaborate with clients to identify and change unhelpful patterns that contribute to depression and anxiety. Through the therapeutic process, we develop goals to address challenges, build coping skills, and integrate strategies into clients' daily lives.

I became a therapist to help individuals find their strengths even through challenging times.
I like to mountain bike, do some form of physical activity, including boxing and kickboxing. Lastly, cars are a special interest of mine.
I practice gratitude for the people and circumstances that I am blessed to have in my life.

The public library. I believe education is a strength and something no one can take away. The library provides a place to receive an endless amount of education, even if you are unable to afford school or even a book.
I recharge by being around loved ones and taking time for myself doing activities I enjoy.
