Where you become vulnerable, you find your strength. I believe the therapeutic relationship is integral to therapy and the motivation for change. I am dedicated to providing a safe space with an emphasis on being genuine, providing non-judgmental empathy, and unconditional positive regard.

​I work with  teens, and adults dealing with a variety of concerns including:  depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, behavioral concerns, Bipolar disorder, ADHD,  anger, coping skills, mood disorders, stress, peer relationship issues, OCD, divorce, phase of life issues, conflict,  racial identity, gender/sexuality, LGBTQ+ issues, and self-harm.  

I am an in-network provider for all commercial BCBS, United, Cigna and Aetna plans.
