My core value of treating others with empathy and compassion is the most important aspect of my approach to care. My biggest motivator in becoming a counselor has been experiencing my own major life obstacles and trauma, which motivated me to want to help others who may be suffering, and who struggle with direction and/or tools to help them cope and progress on their own. I believe that my empathy is one of my biggest assets as I truly understand what it feels like, in addition to my education and over 9 years of experience providing psychotherapy services for varying ages, disorders, cultures, sexual orientations etc.
I have experience in treating countless disorders and populations, and prioritize a judgment free zone so that anyone can feel safe to open up. I implement varying modalities/methods for my clients depending on what they respond best to, so your treatment will be personalized. Specializing in trauma, family dynamics, LGBTQIA, and neurodivergence.
I’m so proud of you for making it this far and beginning your search to begin therapy! If you believe we may be a good fit or have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me and we can begin our journey together!
