Great to meet you!

Mental health counseling provides a strong basis for happiness, resilience, and stability. I would like to be the one that guides and teaches you the necessary skills to get there.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Your individual therapy begins with an assessment, a treatment plan and rapport building in order to collaborative on your course of therapy. By communicating effectively we can partner and develop a road map for your personal emotional growth.

What you can expect from our first session

  • Starting with your first session we collaboratively develop your treatment plan and therapeutic goals. During sessions I create a warm, open environment that allows you to feel comfortable sharing and being vulnerable, while also feeling secure
