    About

    Are you looking for a therapist who can give you the support and understanding that you need?  You’ve found it! I am a compassionate practitioner who uses a strength-based approach to help you work through your most painful issues.  I create a warm and caring environment for my clients that puts them at ease, and sometimes, make them laugh. Through a combination of CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, solution-focused and AF EMDR, you will see improvements in your mood, your motivation and resilience. With my experience working with people with anxiety and depressive disorders, you will find an understanding and compassionate therapist where you can be and discover yourself. I meet you where you are on your first day; listening and getting to know who you are and set goals to motivate you and move you forward. Please call me to schedule a 15 minute consultation.
