(She/Her/Hers)
Certified Addiction Counselor (CAC), Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC)
It is possible to love who you are without having to be perfect. I am here to help you to learn to do just that.
I have been practicing for 15 years in a variety of settings including the community, inpatient treatment, and currently at Third Wave Psychotherapy, a mid-sized group practice. I enjoy working with adults of all ages, backgrounds, and identities. I approach therapy from a strengths based perspective, and focus on how various behaviors both serve and do not serve you in achieving the goals that you've set for yourself.
