Great to meet you!

Hi, and welcome to my space! I have been in the mental health field for over 13years. I am so elated to grow alongside you as change is inevitable, so is my desire to evolve. I have a primary focus on Trauma, Self-Injurious behaviors, and Suicidality, but have experience with working with those who struggle with depression and anxiety. While these are my focus areas, I am well versed in others as my training within coursework, and direct supervision has given me the opportunity to support many others.

My approach to therapy

I'm going to challenge you in therapy. It doesnt always feel good, because therapy can hurt sometimes. It can send you through a realm of uncapped and unchartered emotions but know I am there as your guide. This is your journey, and along this journey, I need you to know I want you to heal and learn how to process effectively. You cannot do that without putting in the work.

What you can expect from me

Goals are important in therapy, just as a blueprintis to buildinga new building. Without goals we have no direction. I believe that we should work collaboratively to determine your goals and where you see yourself in 6 months to a year. I won't cottle you, but I'll be right beside you every step of the way. In a world of judement, you won't find it with me, but I wont allow you to short change yourself and be less than who or what you have so desperately wanted to be; unapologetically you-a healing version, with that I'll hold you accountable.
