Specializing in behavioral lifestyle change for youth, emerging adults, parents... and just about everyone else.

My clinical focus uses evidenced based prevention and treatment approaches to identify client values and goals to achieve sustainable lifestyle change in the area(s) of behavioral, cognitive, emotional, nutritional, physiological, occupational, and/or environmental wellness.

I offer different types of treatment, depending on your needs including: individual counseling, coaching, telehealth, or walk and talk.

I'm a co-author of “Student Resiliency: The Subtle Art of Wellness,” a workbook focusing on wellness and resiliency tips and practices designed for Generation Z.

You can expect a welcoming, non-judgmental, empathetic, and personalized therapeutic relationship to provide relief and accountability in achieving your goals.
