Hello and thank you for reading my professional biography.  Congratulations, you have made the first step in seeking help!  I am a trained, pre-licensed, mental health professional who offers a variety of approaches.  I draw upon both my academic training and vast life experiences to help my clients.  We will work together to tailor our work to your background/history, current presenting circumstances, and goals for growth. I work alongside you, addressing what gives your life meaning while developing practical growth strategies that lead to positive and lasting change. With warmth and compassion, we will work together to understand and resolve your past and present challenges and empower you with skills and awareness for the future. 

I work with a variety of clients from all backgrounds and concerns. This includes those struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, unhealthy patterns, addiction, couples counseling, unhealthy relationships, self-confidence, and unresolved issues. I use a variety of therapeutic frameworks that include cognitive behavior therapy, strengths-based techniques, family systems, client-centered, and mindfulness. I am also a certified SYMBIS facilitator which focuses on premarital counseling.  

I am happy to set up a 15-minute call so we can determine if we are a good fit. My services are not covered by insurance, however, I do offer a reduced rate.  Whether we decide to work together or not, I wish you all the best in your journey.
