Sometimes, prioritizing your mental health takes a back seat to everything else. Maybe you are overwhelmed, depressed, anxious or feeling alone with nobody you can trust. Perhaps, you are in the midst of a major crisis or have experienced trauma that has changed the way you feel about yourself & the world around you. Whatever you are facing, you don’t have to face it alone. Together, we can prioritize your mental health & focus on making positive changes that will empower you to heal & thrive.

I am a trauma-informed, client centered, integrative therapist that is passionate about helping you identify and reach mental health goals that you want to pursue. I have specialized training & extensive experience helping individuals who struggle with relationships, depression, anxiety, mood disorders & PTSD.

I strive to provide a safe, supportive & compassionate space that encourages you “to be you”. I look forward to working collaboratively with you on your path to healing & wellness. Please don’t hesitate to email or call to schedule a session!
