Great to meet you!

Hello! I'm a licensed Therapist with 7 years of experience providing counseling to individuals/couples who want to improve their mental health. The core of my practice is my belief that all individuals are capable of recovery, and able to regain wholesome fulfilling lives once again. I provide warmth and care in a trusting relationship that allows for healing and growth necessary for change. While providing empathy, compassion, and support I help guide those in their journey to new life meaning.

My approach to therapy

Throughout my clinical experience, I help clients overcome symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I have experience helping clients with Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder to live more satisfying lives. I also help clients who want to learn better stress management skills in order to improve their overall mental health, become their best wholesome selves, and strengthen their relationships with others! I ensure a safe non-judgmental space to work through past traumas and overcome barriers.

What you can expect from me

I am fully committed to offer my best professional practices to help you. You will find that together we will collaborate to form the goals for your treatment, and I'll be there as a guide through this process of growth. You can count on my empathetic and person centered approach towards every conversation we take part in. It takes strength to take the first step in seeking to improve your mental health, and I am honored to be a part of this very important journey. I look forward to meeting you!
