“The world is your oyster. It's up to you to find the pearls.” As a therapist, my role is to support and empower you as you navigate life's challenges and work toward health, healing, and contentment. Together, we’ll create a collaborative space where you can discover tools to manage stress, prioritize self-care, and maintain your overall well-being while strengthening your connections to the world around you.
I have experience assisting individuals as they work through trauma, relationship challenges, re-entry, and substance abuse, and I work comfortably with individuals, couples, and families. My approach to mental wellness is holistic, using creative and interactive methods to tailor the journey to your unique needs.
I’m accepting new clients for teletherapy sessions through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform and in-person counseling at Open Gate Therapeutics—a space designed to be a total “vibe.” You don’t have to search for the pearls alone. If you have any questions or are ready to take the first step, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to hear from you!
