My clinical interests include women's health, LGBTQIA+ issues, teen adjustment counseling, and trauma-informed care. I value empowering patients to focus on what they can change while letting go of what is beyond their control.

Patients can expect to feel heard, supported, and encouraged as they work toward their wellness goals. I begin by developing rapport and gaining a thorough understanding of each patient's history. Together, we identify where the patient is now and where they want to be. I create individualized treatment plans, revisiting and adjusting them as needed to align with evolving goals and promote lasting progress.

Highly structured yet comical, I create a nonjudgmental environment where patients feel comfortable being themselves. Each month, I help patients set three short-term goals, reflect on accomplishments, and note things they are grateful for, supporting growth, self-awareness, and emotional balance.

I like to refer to myself as a GPS during the therapeutic journey: we can't always see our destination when we start together, but between us, we will get you and your family where you want to be.

My primary goal is to truly listen to your experience and help you work through it, creating a plan of action together. It is your therapy, and your active involvement is crucial. I have been specializing in grief work since 2012, and many of my clients are living with the loss of loved ones or experiencing other types of non-death loss, such as divorce, job loss, and other significant life changes. When dealing with grief, you may still be in pain and need to talk about it long after others want you to stop talking. This is when therapy can be helpful. Your grief journey is at your pace. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, along with other approaches that help you address loss and trauma in unique ways to begin to write your healing story. I have also worked with domestic violence survivors and child abuse survivors.

My approach is collaborative, practical, and rooted in evidence-based care. I bring humor, clarity, and a no-nonsense style to counseling, believing that treatment should make sense and feel useful.

My clinical toolbox includes CBT, Parent Management Training, Exposure & Response Prevention, and other proven approaches tailored to each person's needs.

Counseling with me starts with a thorough assessment to understand what's been getting in your way. From there, we'll work together to set goals that reflect your values and priorities. Counseling typically moves through three phases: 1) building a strong therapeutic relationship, 2) doing the deep work of change, and 3) maintaining progress and preparing for graduation, because counseling should be a launchpad, not a lifelong subscription.
