Great to meet you!

I am excited to meet you. I have been a practicing therapist for 4 years with a Masters in Social Work. Being vulnerable can be challenging at first but I am patient, reflective and here to listen along with offering support and guidance.

My approach to therapy

I approach clients from a warm and compassionate standpoint. Each person's individuality gives an opportunity to meet someone where they are and help them get to where they want to be. Show me who you are and let us work together to achieve your goals.

What you can expect from me

When I first meet you, I want you to feel comfortable. You can start sharing yourself and your story wherever you feel is important. I will follow your lead. This is your therapy.
