Great to meet you!

Hi there! You should know that I have a passion for helping people and will welcome you without any judgment. Through my prior experience working within the community and in corrections, I feel confident in supporting you. Tambien hablo Espanol. Being bilingual enables me to support a greater number of individuals.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I understand that, at times, life can be complex or confusing, so reaching out for help is a significant first step. I welcome you to explore the intricacies of your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions with me. I will guide you and support you throughout this process as we work together towards improving your mental health. I use various therapeutic approaches to support you and have several years of experience working in the mental health field.

What you can expect from our first session

I believe an essential part of therapy is the relationship between the therapist and the client. Because of this, I strive to create a safe and trusting environment for you. I tend to be very easygoing, but also remain focused on our goals to provide you with the best care possible.
