My genuine compassion and honest, straight-forward approach will be there to guide you in your counseling journey. I will approach you with respect and encourage you along the way, openly listening to your concerns and offering you real life tools you can use to make changes. Together we will discover the obstacles in your life that are preventing you from experiencing more joy and peace and work to create the amazing life you dream of.
I specialize in treating trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, self-harming behaviors, suicidal ideation, and LGBTQ specialization. I enjoy working with couples and individuals to help them create more fulfilling lives.
I understand how reaching out can feel overwhelming, so I like to help create a calm, relaxing time together so you can be yourself. I explain the process and guide you along the way so you can be more comfortable. Virtual sessions are an easy and convenient way for you to make yourself a priority. Text, email me, or schedule on my website to get started.
