I am a Resident In Counseling working under the supervision of a LPC. I am currently accepting new clients from all walks of life! I see children, teens, and adults. Sometimes in life, things happen that can catch us off guard, or throw us off course. Whether these things are expected, or unexpected, it would be a great privilege for me to be able to help you navigate through these situations. My mission is to provide a safe place where all clients will feel welcome and safe no matter their background or beliefs.
Through CBT, Person-Centered therapy, trauma-informed therapy and a variety of other techniques we can work together to overcome any obstacle life may present to help find you a happy and healthy balance within your day-to-day routine.
I believe that people deserve to be seen and heard no matter what their circumstance. I can help provide a safe place to be heard and can offer gentle support in helping find a treatment plan that works best to help you flourish.
