About Me

I strive to create an environment where my clients will feel safe, valued, and heard. I focus on developing a strong therapeutic alliance which sets the foundation of our work. I specialize in working with bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, trauma-related issues, relationships, stress management, transitions, grief and loss, self-esteem, and personal growth. My goal is to meet the unique needs of each individual through the use of various treatment modalities and interventions. I utilize a person-centered approach to therapy where the focus is on developing a warm, positive, validating experience. I collaborate with my clients to identify their goals for therapy and what they hope to achieve in our work together. Most clients immediately benefit from having a safe, supportive place to talk. As our work progresses, we start to dive deeper into the layers that make each client unique and begin to develop strategies to cope with life's stressors.

Education & Experience

I have over 10 years of experience working with adults and teenager in a variety of treatment settings. I have completed specialized training in cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-focused therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and EMDR.
