My counseling approach is designed to meet you where you are, empowering and guiding you toward developing your own insight and positive change.

Welcome, welcome, WELCOME! All my life I have believed that a person needs to be the change they want to see in the world. Thus my practice is one where people are free to learn, to grow, to express themselves freely and without judgement about whatever ails them. This could be daily life struggles of riding public transportation, or more philosophical questions about the meaning of life, and everything in between. All it takes to start is the willingness to have a conversation. I take a trauma focused, client first approach which makes getting that conversation started even easier!

There is not just any one reason people go to therapy. They can go for depression, stress at work, anxiety, or relational problems, and I have worked with all different scenarios in my career. Due to there being many different reasons you come to therapy I use different approaches to achieve the best outcome possible. I am passionate about helping you become a healthier person, working through the past and making goals for the future. Call to schedule an appointment today!
