Control - it's one thing we all desire to have in life, but unfortunately a lot of life is uncontrollable!

My mental health journey began as a child struggling to find a sense of belonging in the world around me.
The ideal client is someone who recognizes a need for change. Struggling with insecurity, loneliness, unshakable sadness, anxiety, stress, emotion identification and expression, self harm, trauma, gender/sexual identity issues, interconnectedness, and honest communication is commonplace in our current society. There is strength in reaching out to build connections and skills with a trusted professional. My goal is to help you do better in all aspects of life as I work alongside you to accomplish the same.
