I like to create a safe space for you to feel comfortable opening up about the most difficult topics in your life or on your mind; meet you where you are in your healing journey in order to gain an understanding of your stressors, what has been poking those emotional bruises, and help identify the goals you wish to achieve. I'm passionate about helping you identify your current triggers, stressors and conflicts in order to help you develop healthier coping strategies to improve those areas of your life.

As a psychotherapist, I utilize a holistic approach and integrate mental and psychical health. I am passionate about facilitating change and meeting clients where they are in their wellness journey. It is my goal to help nurture a sense of safety and self-love and provide a non-judemental space for clients to be the most authentic version of themselves.

I see clients as the expert in their lives and hope to understand their experience to better assist them meet their goals. I have confidence in every person’s capacity for growth and healing when provided with a safe environment, support, and necessary resources.

It is a privilege to be an authentic witness to clients' stories.

I work with individuals to help manage life’s big transitions and decisions. You may be wrestling with anxiety or low self-esteem, and feeling frustrated that things which once came easily are now more of a struggle. You do not have to manage these difficulties alone.
