Great to meet you!

Let's get started on your journey to wellness!

I understand how life’s journey can get overwhelming, where you just want to quit. My goal is to help one navigate the ups and downs of their life, including anxiety, trauma, abuse, housing, addiction or other mental health challenges one may be facing.

It can often feel like you’re alone, but please know that you’re not alone. I’m here to help you get back to feeling better and living a healthier, happier more manageable life. This is an open invitation - please consider it. You’ve taken the first step. We can take more steps forward, together. You deserve this!

My approach to therapy

I am compassionate and welcome open conversation. I listen but do not judge. Provide encouragement, empowerment empathy, while working with clients to equip them with the tools and emotional intelligence they need to successfully navigate through life’s challenges.

What you can expect from me

During your first telehealth session with me, you can expect a welcoming, supportive, and judgment-free space where we begin getting to know one another and building a therapeutic connection. We will spend time discussing what brings you to therapy, what is currently happening in your life, any challenges, stressors, or symptoms you may be experiencing, and how these concerns may be affecting your daily functioning, relationships, or overall well-being. We will also review important practice policies, including confidentiality, telehealth expectations, scheduling, cancellations, communication boundaries, and any questions you may have about the therapeutic process. A key part of our first session will focus on identifying your goals for treatment, what you hope to gain from therapy, what healing or progress looks like for you, and how I can best support you on your journey. This initial visit is a collaborative conversation designed to help you feel comfortable, heard, and empowered as we begin creating a personalized path forward together.
