My Approach to Therapy
I believe in taking a client-centered and solution-focused approach to help you address the issues that bring you to counseling and to help you explore aspects of your life that need either resolution or changes. My goal is to create a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere to work toward a reduction of symptoms and positive changes.
On the Fence About Going to Therapy?
Counseling can be a gradual process. But often, we're able to see and feel the positive effects of making changes and caring for ourselves. I always commend people for taking their first step toward making a change- so thank you for visiting and I hope to hear from you soon

I have spent a lot of time working with mood conditions and other mental health concerns. The specialties I work with are trauma and peri- and postpartum depression and anxiety.
