My purpose and passion as a therapist exists in helping my clients face their issues head-on and reassuring them that they're not alone in their fight. I strive to build strong and trusting relationships with my clients because I firmly believe that a collaborative relationship between client and therapist is most effective. It’s important to me to show up for my clients and to be present for them because they have taken that tough first step towards finding healing, and to me, it is an honor to come alongside them on their journey.
I provide family, couples, and individual therapy. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, faith/religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, stress management, self-esteem and self-love, attachment, spiritual concerns, and forgiveness.
Taking the first step to reaching out for help can be hard, but you did it. I'm so glad you're here! I want to be as helpful as possible to you, so please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have. I look forward to meeting you!
