I believe in potential and possibilities; I know that within each of us lies the ability to restore and overcome anything we set our mind and action to.

I am passionate about helping people restore optimal functioning, achieve goals, and discover meaning in their lives. My perspectives come not only from my own experiences but from my education in the fields of Organizational Management, Career coaching, Mental Health Counseling, and Addictions Counseling.

I believe in the power of therapy, and that the client is the best steward of their treatment and recovery so my approach is Person-Centered yet collaborative. In therapy, I incorporate a holistic approach taking into account physical, mental, and emotional health, while also considering social factors. Depending on your presenting concern, I utilize a variety of approaches including Cognitive Behavioral, which allows me to work collaboratively with clients to identify how cognition impacts feelings and behaviors. With clients who are in crisis, I utilize Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Techniques, and Motivational Interviewing to encourage clients toward wellness. For clients who are seeking career coaching services, I utilize Work Adjustment Theory and Reality Therapy.

My clients appreciate that I provide tools, strategies, and even homework when appropriate. I am supportive and make them feel safe in therapy. However, when necessary, I am direct, providing feedback and informed ideas. I will challenge thoughts or beliefs that may be getting in the way of your progress.  Any approach that I utilize is implemented with the wholehearted belief that your life can get better through learning tools and skills. Change is possible and I’m here to help you make that happen.
