Great to meet you!

Hello, potential client! We could be a great fit if you are looking for someone who will be direct, but affirming and warm, while reminding you you can be in control of your own life. I have experience working with people who have experienced trauma, have substance misuse issues, and adolescents who need help navigating life as a teenager. I like to educate and apply some "soft" pressure to motivate you towards change!

A bit about my approach to therapy

With me, you will learn to use your voice, and advocate for yourself, take back your power, and develop healthy skills to manage stressors. If you are an adolescent, we will dive into brain development, how trauma affects brain development, and how this manifests itself in everyday life. I am also a really good listener, and can provide healthy feedback and validation if you just want to vent for a few minutes.

What you can expect from our first session

Ultimately, my goal is to help you manifest and achieve the life you want for yourself. Sometimes, there are barriers that prevent someone from living to their fullest potential whether it be past or current life.. and I just want to help you feel supported and safe.
