Attempting to cope with a mental health concern is often a lonely and exhausting process. Additionally, pursuing counseling can often be a difficult decision to make, but one that I believe is worthwhile. As a counselor, my role is to help support you through your healing journey and empower you to rediscover your own unique strengths and resources as a means to promote such healing. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental environment for you to share your own unique life story.

Life can feel overwhelming, especially when struggling with ADHD, anger, trauma, anxiety, depression, or major life transitions. Many of my clients—teens, young adults, and at-risk youth—feel stuck, frustrated, or misunderstood. They may struggle with emotions, decision-making, or relationships and want tools to cope. Some seek motivation, self-esteem, or healing from past trauma. Whether they need a space to process emotions, build coping skills, or grow personally, they’re looking for a down-to-earth, supportive counselor.
