***Offering Telehealth/Virtual sessions*** I am a compassionate, non-judgmental therapist and I believe that everyone deserves a helping hand. I believe that we all have the ability to reframe our thinking and change our own narratives in order to find peace and happiness. We will work together to ensure that you learn how to adjust and cope with difficult situations, and I will provide you with specific techniques to achieve your goals!
I specialize in reducing anxiety and depression, learning how to adjust to changes and transitions as well as improving relationships through trust building and effective communication. My clients have shown great improvement in feeling less anxious, having healthier relationships, better sleep, higher self-esteem, and being able to focus better.
I believe in empowering my clients to discover their inner strengths and to provide them with the tools needed to reach their full potential. I believe in a strength-based, client-centered therapy session where I will listen carefully, be judgement free, and guide my clients so that they can achieve their goals and become the best person they can be!
