These settings include substance abuse treatment, mental health crises, domestic violence, critical incidences, youth corrections, individual, couples and family counseling. I have worked with clients who have had issues with depression, anxiety, stress and psychsocial problems.

As a therapist, my theoretical approaches tend to be solution focused, reality based with an emphasis on how my client views him or herself and the world around them. I believe we all make decisions and exhibit individual behaviors based on what we perceive is happening to us and the world around us. My goal is to help my clients determine if their beliefs, as well as their actions, are helping them be the best they can be. In addition to that, I work to ensure that my clients have the emotional tools they need to appropriately and effectively manage the emotional ups and downs of life. As I see it, life is "a continuum of temporary circumstances that we all must navigate the best we can with the skills we have".

I have also served in leadership roles as a team lead while continuing to provide direct therapeutic services. Currently, I specialize in working with individuals experiencing mental health and substance use challenges. I have had the privilege of supporting clients ranging in age from 5 to 90 years old, helping them navigate life's difficulties while building resilience, confidence, and healthier coping strategies. I believe that every person has a unique story that deserves to be heard with compassion, respect, and without judgment. My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and person-centered. I strive to create a safe space where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, emotions, and life experiences at their own pace. My approach incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based interventions, psychoeducation, stress management techniques, coping skills development, self-care practices, and mindfulness-based strategies. I also draw from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) concepts and other evidence-based approaches when appropriate to meet each client's individual needs. I enjoy working with adults of all backgrounds and have particular experience supporting women navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem challenges, relationship concerns, stress, trauma, and personal growth. I value cultural diversity and believe that some of the greatest opportunities for healing come from understanding and honoring each person's unique experiences and perspectives. Outside of therapy, I enjoy spending time in nature, walking outdoors, learning about different cultures, and spending time with animals—especially cats. If it were possible in a virtual setting, I would gladly combine therapy with a peaceful walk outdoors. I believe that healing often happens when we slow down, connect with ourselves, and feel supported by another person who is willing to listen. Seeking help is a courageous step, and I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing, growth, and greater well-being.
