I’m a licensed psychotherapist. I have over 10 years of experience working with clients from all walks of life in a variety of diverse treatment settings. My unique brand of counseling services includes assessments, treatment planning, crisis intervention and customized therapy sessions for individuals, couples, and groups.

My treatment philosophy is based on one of my favorite quotes, from author Kate Braestrup in her book Here If You Need Me: A True Story,— “I’m not here to keep you from freaking out. I’m here to be with you while you freak out, or grieve or laugh or suffer or sing. It is a ministry of presence. It is showing up with a loving heart.” This philosophy has served me well in developing successful and productive partnerships with clients in a number of settings including mental health facilities, clinics, treatment centers, and schools.

We all need support. Choosing psychotherapy is not a sign of weakness, it is an indication of your strength and determination to take control of your life. I realize that seeking help can sometimes be difficult. The first step is admitting that you need assistance. The second is setting up an appointment with me. I truly believe that everyone can benefit from psychotherapy at some point in their lives and I consider it a privilege to be chosen to walk through life’s challenges with you. Let’s get started on your transformation today!
