Finding a therapist who is a right fit for you can seem overwhelming and time consuming. Where should you start? What should you look for? How will you know you’ve found them? Congratulations- you took the first step and started doing some research! Some people choose a therapist based on credentials, some base it on what the therapist looks like, some base it on a recommendation from someone else and some need to speak with or meet the therapist to decide. You are the only expert needed in this search. You know yourself the best and should choose someone who fits your needs based on your goals for treatment.
I take a pretty direct approach in therapy. I provide solution-focused sessions to help you address your reason for seeking treatment. I will work with you to find the best course of action to maximize your time in therapy.
I will help you focus on your strengths and natural supports to improve your self esteem, learn new coping skills and make the behavioral changes necessary to enhance your mental health.
My goal is to assist you in reaching your full potential so that you are able to live your most fulfilling life. I recognize that each person is unique and there is no “one-size fits all” approach to therapy, so I use an individualized, person-centered approach in working with my clients.

I aim to provide you supported therapeutic care, while keeping you informed with the latest treatment modalities, in a cultivating and empathetic environment. This is your journey and I am honored to be a part of it.
