My professional experience includes individual, family, couple, and group therapy in various therapeutic settings; including in-home, private practice, non-profit organizations, community agencies, schools and alternative educational programs, drug treatment facilities, and organizations operated by the Juvenile Justice System.

My goal is to provide a safe and empathic space so you can confront the most difficult of emotions while exploring your ability to transform from them. My approach is informal, eclectic, collaborative, and client-centered. Many of my clients describe me as authentic, calming, warm, and humorous. Even though the journey can be hard, I would be honored to assist you!

I utilize an eclectic mix of modalities to find the right fit for each person, and my experience includes the use of cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy (including mindfulness), solution-focused concepts, and I love to bring in creative ways to process and integrate experiences. I strive to meet you where you are.

As a counselor, I strive to build relationships where my clients feel connected, acknowledged for who they are, and fully accepted in a safe and compassionate environment. In working alongside my clients, I utilize a number of interventions to facilitate my client’s discovery of their own strengths, resilience, and power as they heal.

My background includes working in the classroom, teaching behind prison walls, and coaching at the gym. This variety means that I am prepared and excited to meet each individual within their own unique context, without judgments about past experiences or assumptions about future goals. Whoever you are, and whatever you have been through, I am here to unconditionally support your next steps forward.

I believe we each have the innate capacity to heal. I aim to create a warm, empathic, and safe environment within a client-centered, collaborative framework where this potential to heal can take root, grow, and ultimately flourish. I have felt deeply moved by the privilege of being with clients as they navigate their challenges, whether it is a death or non - death loss, trauma, difficult emotions, or reclaiming their authentic selves.

My passion lies in helping individuals, partners, and families build stronger, more fulfilling relationships. My work is deeply rooted in the belief that healing happens in and through connection.
