Great to meet you!

Are your troubles making it hard to cope? Worries feel like a never-ending loop? New life transitions making you ask "who am I"? I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who is trained in neurotherapy and biofeedback. Many of the clients I work with have goals of managing anxious or depressive thoughts and emotions. I enjoy assisting clients through transition phases such as young adulthood and the "Quarter-life" crisis.

My approach to therapy

Each person brings something unique to the therapeutic relationship. Everyone has their own experiences along with an identity that has been formed over the lifespan. I will assist you in discovering the new, working in the present, and analyzing the past. I offer virtual sessions as well.

What you can expect from me

My clients can expect an open, non-judgemental, yet challenging therapeutic alliance.
