Great to meet you!

I provide counseling in a supportive and nonjudgmental space. My approach is collaborative and client-centered helping individuals navigate life's challenges. I focus on fostering personal growth in ways that feel meaningful, empowering and true to each person's unique experiences. My goal is to create a space where client's feel heard, valued and supported as they explore their strengths and move toward the life they want to live.

My approach to therapy

My approach is trauma-informed, client-centered and collaborative. I prioritize creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, process emotions, and develop practical tools for navigating life's challenges.

What you can expect from me

In the first session, we'll take time to get oriented to therapy, explore what brings you in, and begin building a collaborative working relationship. We'll discuss what matters most to you and identify areas of focus in a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and respected. Telehealth sessions are conducted via secure video with cameras on to support clinical assessment and effective care.
