Great to meet you!

I'm a passionate and client-centered practitioner who is motivated by the challenges I have worked to overcome through therapeutic practices. I prioritizes advocating for my clients and value the unique experiences each of my clients bring to the therapeutic process. This can include depression, anxiety, stress, relational/family challenges, grief, and trauma. I bring over a decade of experience working with adults of all ages, families, and children who were runaways/homeless.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My holistic approach includes a non-judgement space and unconditional positive regard while using modalities such as solution-focused, cognitive processing, cognitive-behavioral, multi-systemic therapy, and psychodynamic treatment to assist clients experiencing mental and emotional hardships.

What you can expect from our first session

My goal is to help clients improve their quality of life by helping you create a tailored self-care routine, increase your insight, unlock dormant strengths, and build new, sustainable skills. I know life requires us to evolve and grow in order for us to thrive and I'm dedicated to joining clients on their journey towards growth
