Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-focused
I use evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy to help you gain insight into the connection between your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions and create a path toward your goals. We’ll get to the root of your challenges, identify patterns, and improve your boundaries and communication skills so you can move forward with confidence.
My approach is centered on creating a safe and supportive environment where you can feel heard and understood. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or a life transition, I am here to support you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery. We will work collaboratively to identify your objectives and develop a personalized treatment plan that meets your unique needs.

As a child, my immediate family experienced a loss. The grief was profound for all of us yet, it was never quite processed appropriately by any member. This observation sparked an interest in me to want to understand human behavior. Why were we all brushing it under the rug and hurting in solitude? My interest in psychology grew and I found myself seeking out examples of counseling through media; tv shows, radio, and magazines. Everywhere I looked people were seeking help. I knew that I wanted to be one of those people that could help ease the suffering of another.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my three young children. We love to watch movies, take walks, and visit with family. My friendships are very important to me so, making time for socialization is also a high priority. I carve out time to lift weights as building mental strength through physical obstacles is a challenge I truly enjoy.
I recharge by getting lots of sleep and spending time alone when needed.
