Therapy gives people a way to progress and work toward being the best versions of themselves. Accepting the need to grow and change can be challenging and you are taking a necessary step in your personal growth. I work with clients to set goals that address their needs and inspire insight and growth. I look forward to meeting with you and discussing your needs and ways to achieve your therapeutic goals. I've specialized in working with teens and young adults both individually and exploring their relationships with family and friends. This experience assists me to help people address relationship struggles and communication barriers.
I work with people to address general mental health concerns, trauma history, personality disorders, self harm struggles and suicidal idealizations. I work with people from all walks of life and want to support your unique identity. I am an ally of the LGBTQ community. I care about and work with people struggling with chronic pain and invisible disabilities.
My background in positive psychology helps me to join with people to empower them from a strengths based perspective. I respect and affirm individuals in any and all belief systems. I work with people to be able to find the best versions of themselves. I am excited to meet with you and share in your journey of growth and self understanding.
