Great to meet you!

I am an experienced clinician who specializes in children, teens and young adults. Being a mental health counselor has been a passion of mine, so much that I am pursuing my PhD in it. I have a passion to help others navigate the positive and negative experiences in their life and discover who they are!

A bit about my approach to therapy

I utilize a mixture of play therapy, positive therapy, and CBT. I think it is important to take a person-centered approach to meet each individuals unique needs!

What you can expect from our first session

In therapy, collaboratively, we can begin to explore the next steps to reach your goal. Therapy can help provide guidance when you feel lost or stuck. Let me help you figure out your next step after reaching out for help by developing healthy coping skills, pinpointing barriers and reconnecting you with yourself.
