Great to meet you!

My goal is to help people get the help they need to process the issues they deal with. Sometimes it is easier to figure out what you are thinking and feeling with the help of someone else. I have an open, accepting, and non confrontational style. Let me help you figure out where you are having difficulty and how to make things better and move forward in a healthy and happy way.

I have a Master's degree in Psychology with a focus on Community Mental Health. I treat depression, anxiety, etc.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I have a supportive, open, welcoming counseling style. I prefer to move at your pace while still challenging you to grow into your best self and the person you would like to become.

What you can expect from our first session

After a session you should feel better than when you came and I usually give you some homework to put into action for the following week and we discuss it at your next session. You should expect to take small steps forward with incremental, positive change happening along the way.

Warm
Empowering
