I believe that the counseling experience should support exploration and growth at your own pace. Each individual has their own story that has shaped how they view and interact with the world, and my commitment is to walk beside you in navigating the challenges, worries, and experiences that come with that. I hope to make you feel welcomed, safe, and heard with a collaborative approach. With a genuine passion for others and their well-being, my sessions are rooted in compassion and empathy, providing support and guidance as you work towards your goals.

Life brings joys and hardships to us all. My goal is to be a non-judgmental, safe, support as people go through different times of life. We can work together to bring acceptance and understanding to events throughout life. Being rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy, we can start to look at thinking patterns and emotions together to work towards change. My belief is that everyone has their own inner wisdom which we can become reacquainted with through therapy and mindfulness.

"We are all broken.....that's how the light gets in" (Hemmingway). What works for us, works against us.
