When a person is faced with life stressors, it can be hard to know how to "act" or "present themselves." An ideal client is one who recognizes that something is not right and takes the first step in seeking help. That is the most difficult part. They recognize the way they are feeling is not how they want or need to feel. It takes courage to ask for help and I understand the process of finding a therapist can be overwhelming. I am proud of you for taking the first steps towards a positive change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you through your journey.

Every person deserves the opportunity to feel supported and heard. My primary focus for the clients I hope to work with is assisting them in learning how to navigate their feelings and emotions in a safe environment. Struggles may range anywhere from navigating anxiety symptoms, family dynamics, social situations, or exploring and learning more about possible traumas.
