Great to meet you!

Do you have dreams of a happier and healthier lifestyle? Do you know what you want in life but feel stuck due to past traumatic experiences, stress, anxiety, or self esteem issues? I work with individuals on life issues that have become too heavy to manage on their own.You'll replace negative narratives that leave you feeling stuck with a positive & motivating outlook and work towards a plan that is attainable and unique to your goals.

A bit about my approach to therapy

As a counselor, I guide my clients in the same manner as a lighthouse guides a ship to safer shores. Through my approach, I focus on a blend of support and encouragement mixed with challenging self-doubt and pushing clients to focus on harder issues. My style is warm, practical and effective. I create a safe environment for you and I empower my clients to reach their personal goals. I have an integrative and holistic approach to therapy that includes talk-based therapy, EMDR, and CBT.

What you can expect from our first session

We'll use therapy to identify past experiences that impact your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Let's work together to develop coping skills, gain insight into feelings, and work to attain a deeper sense of wellness.
