People seek therapy for a variety of reasons and at various times throughout their life. Asking for help can be one of the hardest yet most rewarding decisions you can make for yourself. As a clinician, my goal is to explore with you areas in your life that have caused pain and suffering, help you to achieve greater self-awareness, and increase personal growth. I aim to provide a strong and caring presence that allows you to relax, take your guard down and explore the most honest version of you.

I work with individuals struggling with issues related to trauma, anxiety, depression, and more. My experience includes working in school-based programs, mental health inpatient/outpatient, and residential programs. Through therapy, there is always a way to address the issues you face and learn coping strategies to help you both right now and in the future.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative and empowering. I am very passionate about helping my clients live a more meaningful life. As part of Life Strategies Counseling, Inc., I consult with our team of mental health professionals who specialize in different issues, ensuring that all possible treatment approaches are considered.
