Empowerment and self awareness are key in overcoming life's challenges. As a counselor with over 15 years of experience, my focus is in helping you discover the strengths within yourself to navigate and manage personal difficulties. I believe in a holistic and person centered approach, focused on mindfulness, emotional understanding and self motivation. I am dedicated to providing a nonjudgmental and compassionate listening ear and feel passionately about building a strong therapeutic relationship with each client.
I specialize in a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, grief, perinatal mental health, and life adjustments. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming. My goal is to provide a safe space to collaborate with individuals on identifying personal areas of need, patterns, and behaviors that are a barrier to obtaining inner peace and personal growth.
Therapy can be an intimidating door to open. No one should ever feel ashamed of seeking support. Please email or call me to schedule a free phone consultation today. I look forward to working with you on your journey to wellness!
