Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, past trauma or repetitive patterns that just don’t work? I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of experience supporting adults in navigating life’s challenges. My approach to therapy is person-centered and existential. I am here as a guide, a support, a confidant and partner in helping you overcome the obstacles to expressing your best authentic self.
My goal is to help you understand your emotions, build coping skills and resilience, create empowering habits and foster positive change in a safe, supportive space. Whether you’re seeking help for depression, anxiety, healing from past experiences, or reconnecting with your authentic self, I tailor my approach to your unique needs.
Ready to start? I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to discuss your goals and see if we’re a good fit. Message me directly through Psychology Today to schedule. I look forward to being part of your healing journey.
