Great to meet you!

I collaborate with individuals seeking counseling for various reasons, including improving personal relationships, addressing specific issues, fostering a better balance, or developing a deeper awareness of life's purpose. I have experience working with individuals dealing with life transitions, relationship difficulties, grief/loss/bereavement, anxiety, depression, and disordered eating.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I see our sessions as a collaborative journey, emphasizing an individualized approach, incorporating mind, body, and spirit. It is my desire to offer a nonjudgemental environment that provides support, encouragement, and practical skills.

What you can expect from our first session

While counseling can be both enjoyable and challenging at times, the ultimate goal is positive transformation in relationships with others and with yourself.
