Great to meet you!

I have had the honor of working in the health system for since 2017 supporting those going through major life changes. I have experience working with grief and loss, trauma, depression and anxiety, new diagnosis or chronic illnesses, life transitions, and relational stressors. Additionally, I have been providing therapy since 2023 working closely with clients to provide a space where they feel valued, supported, and listened to while working towards a better mental health.

My approach to therapy

I am a strengths-based person-centered therapist. I will use a personalized approach to find the best therapy that fits your needs. I would describe my therapeutic style as genuine, accepting, and honest. Clients who get the most out of working with me are motivated toward self-awareness and optimistic that change and healing can happen.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, we will spend time getting to know each other and building a trusting relationship. An intake will be completed which will give me insight to your history, your present concerns, and hopes for the future.
