Taking the first step into therapy can be intimidating. Being vulnerable with a complete stranger isn't the most comforting thought. It is my goal to provide an environment that allows you to feel safe to show up and be authentic without fear of judgement. We are all human beings and need help from time to time. My approach to counseling is a collaborative effort aimed at increasing self-awareness and establishing a sense of empowerment in your own life. I focus on meeting clients where they are and facilitating positive change for a healthy, successful life.
I am experienced treating children, adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, personality disorders, self-harm, relationship issues and anger management, among others.
Therapy is an extraordinary path that can ignite growth, reflection and healing. I am grateful to share in your journey and look forward to meeting you!
