Co-Founder of Beverly Therapists

LCPC, ICDVP

I believe therapy is an outlet to discuss, explore, and change aspects of our lives that are causing distress.

​

I provide supportive psychotherapy utilizing a relational, strengths-based approach empowering individuals to build on their inner strengths. I enjoy working with adults,
