My Approach to Helping

“If you want it, you can create it!” This was the very quote that carried me from my place of mental anguish and into a space of joy, true happiness and freedom. For this very reason, I have dedicated my career to helping my clients walk in that same victory. I am a board certified Licensed Mental Health Counselor specializing in struggles such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, substance dependence, suicidal ideation, psychological trauma and severe and persistent mental illness. My experience ranges from working with kids and adolescents, to adults, couples and families. Grounded in evidence-based practices, I utilize an integrative approach to therapy including cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment therapy, a variety of mindfulness interventions, as well as family systems approach for families and the Gottman method for couples. The goal of every session is to move a step closer towards the life that you want to create.
