Great to meet you!

Hello there~

I'm a licensed mental health counselor with over 10 years of experience, predominantly with emergent/young adults. Anxiety, depression, and boundaries were the most common issues people came to me with. Knowing how challenging the process can be, I work to provide a supportive safe presence.

My approach to therapy

I've been described as warm and approachable. My hope for clients is to be empowered so they can take ownership of their own lives.

I meet people where they are, letting them decide where to go, when. Together, we explore what's happening in their interior life (i.e. thoughts, feelings), their exterior life (i.e. work, family, etc.), and what's worked in the past. Usually, this helps clients determine what they want for themselves and charter the way forward. My role is to provide therapeutic support as well as ask the right questions that are sometime challenging but hopefully helpful in the path of growth and healing.

What you can expect from me

If you are interested, we can set up a free 15-minute phone consultation. If we both agree to work with each other, we can schedule our first session. Currently, all sessions are scheduled virtually; in the near future, I will be able to meet a few clients in-person. For most people, I meet with them weekly. Questions are welcome and should you decide along the way that you don't want to meet with me anymore, that is okay.
