Great to meet you!

I have been in the Mental Health Counseling field professionally for 5 years. I've worked with a wide range of clients who are working through anything from changing problematic behaviors to improving and maintaining healthy relationships. Life is unpredictable, and we're here to work together to address the stress and difficulties that come with change.

My approach to therapy

I'm ready to meet you where you are at, whether that be just beginning your mental health journey, or pivoting in a different direction with your self care. My wide range of experience allows me to cater our work together towards your own specific needs. I take into consideration your experiences on a holistic level in order to make sure we're working together to address how the challenges you face effect different areas of your life.

What you can expect from me

You can expect us to start with getting to know each other, in a low pressure way so we can begin to connect on a human level. From there, we'll go at your pace to establish the most pressing thoughts and concerns you're experiencing, and create goals to achieve your desired outcomes. I strive to foster a warm and nonjudgemental environment where you feel free to be your most authentic self.
