Life is like a story that we write. Sometimes, we may not like how our story is going and need help getting it back on track. I can help you with your story and together we can put it on the path you want. Everyone has their own strengths to get through the hard and dark times of their stories and I try to help people find those strengths. I encourage an open, laid back, and honest relationship to help clients feel emotionally supported.

I offer a gentle and self-compassionate approach to therapy which is largely tailored to help you meet your individual needs and goals. I use a combination of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), mindfulness, and emotional processing through person-centered therapy.

Healing takes time and asking for help is a courageous step. Allow me to take those steps with you! It can be difficult to figure out the struggles of life on your own. Reaching out for help strengthens a person and does not weaken them.
