I want to first acknowledge your decision to pursue therapy services. It takes strength and courage to choose not to go it alone. I was taught the importance of doing my own personal work, and this has given me a much deeper appreciation for what it takes to grow and heal. Therapy can be anxiety provoking, even temporarily painful. However, it can also enable you to tap into your strengths, release the past, experience lasting relief, and increase positive connections. If you are ready to start this process, please know I will be there with you for the journey.

Feeling anxious, frustrated, discouraged, or just stuck? We all experience issues but seeking help can help you navigate those difficult situations effectively. I believe we are all capable of healing and growth, sometimes we just need someone to provide us with the tools. I can provide you with those tools. We all learn, grow, and evolve within the contexts of relationships. So, I strive to create a safe space to explore, define, and redefine your sense of self, as well as your relationships, as we dismantle stigma and societal expectations.
