"My perspective on counseling is that the client is driving and I am along for the ride. I use an integrative approach, often focusing on functional applications by using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Therapy to help the client identify the changes that they want to make in their life, and then find the tools to help them achieve them. I want my clients to feel that this is a relationship and we are working together to help them achieve their goals. Clients, whether individual, couples or family can expect to take away a feeling of purpose, validation and acceptance. I want them to feel like every session brings them closer to having answers/solutions for the daily stressors that have brought them to therapy.

My degree and professional experiences have taught me how to help people to be the best and most content versions of themselves."
