Great to meet you!

I have a deep love for people and feel called to help others live their best lives. I bring my professional training, life experience, and natural compassion to every counseling session, working to support and guide each person toward positive, impactful and affirming change.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach empowers clients to face challenges courageously with mental and spiritual tools that put them back in control of their personal space. From this empowered stance, we work to positively impact their life circumstances. I use CBT, REBT, and other psychological and spiritual strategies to create lasting, positive change my clients seek.

What you can expect from our first session

While many clients seek therapy to feel better, my goal is to also equip them with the tools to maintain an empowered position on their own. Therapy is most effective when clients can take control of their healing through mastering these life affirming tools, and I’m committed to supporting them until that mastery is achieved.
