I’m so glad you’ve taken this step. Reaching out for support takes courage, and I look forward to connecting with you. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a certified teacher with over 13 years of experience working with adolescents and families, along with two years of counseling experience. I am passionate about helping you discover your strengths, navigate challenges, find healing, and experience meaningful growth so you can thrive and reach your fullest potential.
I offer a warm, supportive, and safe environment where you can explore life’s challenges and feel heard, understood, and accepted. I tailor each session to your unique needs, goals, and readiness for change. Together, we will explore the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to help you deepen your self-awareness and develop healthier ways of coping.
My goal is to help you feel comfortable from the very beginning. We’ll start by reviewing confidentiality so you understand how your privacy is protected and then we will discuss your goals and motivation for therapy. I’ll ask some open-ended questions about different areas of your life, such as relationships, work or school, sleep, stress, and anything else you feel is important to share. This first session is also an opportunity for you to get a sense of me as your therapist and decide whether it feels like a good fit for you. At the end, we’ll reflect on what we’ve discussed and I’ll suggest possible next steps.
