Accepting NEW clients. Everyone has a story, that should be heard, and have a space where their healing journey can begin.

I believe that counseling should focus on holistic wellness which incorporates physical, emotional, intellectual, social, spiritual, and environmental wellness. Counseling isn't about fixing, but growing. My goal is to create an environment that radiates warmth, comfort, and safety with the intention of facilitating growth and healing through support and empowerment. I am here to walk down the path toward healing with you as you explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences in a judgement-free environment.

Exclusively Telehealth: Congrats on making your mental health a priority! I see counseling as an opportunity of self-exploration and growth.

I strive to create a safe environment for my clients, one in which they feel heard and understood with no judgement. I have had the pleasure of working with individuals from all different ages, cultures, backgrounds, and cognitive/developmental levels. I am here to meet you where you are at, and help you meet your goals.

I believe that we all have a journey that has led us where we are, with individual challenges and opportunities. Events from the past can leave lasting impacts that lead to feeling disconnected from self or others and difficulties with living authentically. I am passionate about listening to your story to work through challenges and assist you with taking control of this journey in order to feel whole and complete. I believe in a collaborative approach to help people create a healthier perception of themselves while strengthening their resources, and relationships during the healing process.

Are you looking to make a change? Do you wish to gain insight into yourself, the meaning behind your difficulties? Do you have a desire to discover a closer connection with your emotions, unlocking an ability to feel better, and be more fluid with your feelings as they emerge? Perhaps you live with physical pain, tension, or chronic stress that plagues your body. Are you seeking strength and solace through connection with a deeper source? You are not alone.

As we all go through life trying our best to stay afloat and happy, sometimes asking for help can seem like the hardest thing to do. I believe that people have within themselves the ability and strength to enact meaningful change in their lives. By working in a collaborative manner with a client-led and person-centered approach, finding motivation and unearthing hidden strengths can lead to positive change and new outlook on life. By utilizing new coping skills and building a therapeutic alliance, we can work other to overcome those previously insurmountable waves of life. My Practice is Taking New Patients for Psychiatric Care!
