Life provides happiness as well as its share of challenges. I believe individuals and couples are capable of navigating life but sometimes need a little extra help and compassion throughout the process. Therapy can be that place where a person can discuss, learn and work through any past or present challenges that may be getting in the way of living a happy and hopeful life.
I have 8 years of experience working with diverse populations with a multitude of different challenges; some of which include intergenerational trauma, substance abuse, relationship conflict, neurodiverse conditions, LGBTQIA2s+ challenges, and BIPOC folx.
Taking care of one’s emotional and mental health needs are important. My style is one of compassion, mindfulness and collaboration throughout a journey of healing. Thank you for taking a positive step to helping you.
