My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space where we can work together to process the things that you are struggling with and to work on healing. I believe in building trust with my clients so that they feel comfortable working with me on navigating difficult areas of life. I have been a school counselor for 18 years and have experience working with children and adolescents on a variety of social/emotional concerns. I also have worked with families through family change, relationship difficulties, and communicating better.

My style of communication is direct, strength-based focusing on how to make life not just good but better. I like to utilize Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Choice Theory, and Mindfulness throughout my work with you. If you are hoping to take action and be held accountable for reaching your goals, we would be a good fit. My hope is that we can work together to get you to where you want to be. Looking forward to working with you!
