It takes courage to ask for help; I praise you for reaching out. Therapy can be a team effort, and I hope we can work together to achieve your goals. I believe we can make positive change happen. My goal is to help you recognize your strengths and feel empowered to overcome your difficulties. I find it helpful to keep therapy structured and regularly use tools and handouts to help individuals clarify their struggles, redirect thought, and hone-in on areas of improvement. I also find it beneficial to share my own experiences and the techniques that have helped me along the way in my journey.

​I am trained and certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and find it to be the most helpful approach in my work with clients of all ages. CBT is goal-oriented and focuses individuals on what they want to achieve.
