"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans".
With over 18 years in the field, I am an experienced clinician. Challenges in your relationship as a couple, dealing with an explosive child or teenager, depression, anxiety, trauma, and struggling to have a healthier, happier relationship as a couple, family or individual? Here's where you can take your first step. There is hope and things can change.
I am a down-to-earth therapist with a warm and caring nature. I provide an empathetic and safe place where you can be yourself without fear of judgment.
I specialize in individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy. My main areas of interest, training and certifications are ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (formerly Aspergers), Trauma & PTSD. I am trained and certified in numerous forms of therapy and treatment. Therapy is not a one size fits all, and we will find what works best for you.
As a therapist, my goal is to help uncover true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. My clients often share that their experience in therapy feels different from anything they have had before. They feel truly heard and leave sessions with real tools and new ways of navigating life's challenges, not just a space to talk.
You deserve to feel heard, understood, and accepted exactly as you are.
Whether you're dealing with workplace stress, family challenges, personal growth, or healing from past experiences, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy, respect, and professional guidance.
