I specialize in working with clients who struggle with addiction, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and other mental health needs or concerns.

I use an eclectic style in session, using therapies including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing.

I have a special interest in working with individuals who are looking to understand, challenge, and work through their past to help improve their present.
