My goal is to assist clients with strategies to handle their mental health in a positive way.

Throughout life, it is possible to find ourselves on a journey we believe is impossible to complete. Through therapy, we learn that no journey is impossible; however sometimes we must detour...delay...revisit...or speed up!

I will partner with you to find your path to a healthy existence despite any detours you encounter.

I work towards creating a space of non judgement, empathy, and care, with intentionality towards exploring clients' strengths and goals for therapy.
