My professional experience has prepared me to work with clients from various backgrounds. I enjoy walking beside each client on their journey to personal growth with empathy and compassion. Clients are able to identify and process emotions, find resolution, and regain control to live a rewarding and productive life. I provide a safe space for self expression. You will experience a confidential, non-judgmental environment where you are heard, understood, and appreciated. I am committed to helping you increase your self-understanding and quality of life.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has over 16 years working in the mental health field. I have extensive experience in treating issues such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, self-esteem, stress and anger management. I am passionate about working with individuals who are on a journey to improve their quality of life and overall well-being.
It is important to have a sense of trust and connection with your therapist. You don't have to take this journey alone. Together we can increase your personal growth, whether its setting boundaries, developing coping skills, conflict resolution, or managing your depression. Give me a call today and let's start this journey TOGETHER!
