Great to meet you!

I have dedicated the past six years to clients who have experienced trauma in all formats. Sitting in the darkness of trauma can be so overwhelming and isolating. Through my practice I work to create a safe and open space for processing, understanding, and building ones life towards emotionally health standards. With over 10 years working in the mental health field and the past 6 years as a mental health therapist understanding the client as a whole and having a holistic approach is a starting point towards personal change.

My approach to therapy

Person centered with a focus on meeting you where you are in your stage of life. Ensuring clients feel heard, supported, and gain a sense of self growth at the end of our clinical therapeutic relationship.

What you can expect from me

Initial sessions will be centered around the clients willingness to discuss their current needs and/or struggles. During this time you can expect to have an open ear, warm environment, feedback, and overall support with processing your pain. At the end of the session we wil discuss your goals for therapy and work towards a dynamic to achieve such goals.
