Mental health is a vital key to overall well-being and living life to its fullest potential. I believe it is often through our struggles that we learn, grow, and find meaning and value in our lives. My approach to counseling is focused on providing clients with a safe, nonjudgmental environment in which they are able to gain insight and find healing. 

I value each and every person as an individual, with unique life experiences and individual needs, and work collaboratively with clients to identify and achieve their goals. Because no single approach is right for everyone, I utilize a range of therapeutic modalities including Cognitive-Behavioral, Gestalt, and Acceptance and Commitment-based theories.

In order to accommodate busy schedules, I offer evening/weekend appointments and counseling via Telehealth. I work with a wide variety of clients including adolescents, adults, couples, and families.
