Working together on a therapeutic journey will guide you to regain a sense of empowerment and identity. My experience as a counselor has led me to understand the importance of developing a nonjudgemental and secure relationship together. Providing this space allows for growth and progress on the journey to overall wellness. My approach involves exploring mental blocks or guards that hinder you from experiencing your innate strengths. Together we will work on emotional processing, finding strength based evidence, and developing positive coping skills based on your individual needs.

Living a meaningful life can be difficult in society's fast paced, hustle culture. If you struggle with saying no, expressing your needs or putting yourself first, let’s work together to better understand and challenge underlying patterns that are impacting your ability to find balance - with a little bit of tears (or a lot, totally optional) and hopefully some laughter too. My work is informed by my training in Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral therapies. In my experience, this approach promotes meaningful insights and lasting change.
