As your therapist, it is my hope to collaborate with you from a person-centered lens towards a better quality of life. I value a holistic approach, especially investigating how environments and systems can influence our mental well-being. My goal as your therapist is to explore how you can make life at least 1% more enjoyable. I will utilize your strengths and inner resilience to guide us. Together, we can find the best way for you to move forward.
I have been working as a first responder for over three years alongside being a therapist. Through this experience I have become very familiar with the challenges, stigmas, and personal toll present while serving a community. I dedicate a portion of my therapy practice to providing a safe therapeutic space for first responders and public servants.
There is no rule book for life and we are not meant to know all the solutions on our own. Whether past, current, or future stressors are weighing on you, we can address them together. Send me a message via email, phone call, or reaching out on the website and we can get started on your healing journey!
