Great to meet you!

I believe that you have the ability to make the changes you desire in your life. My job is to help clear the path for you to get there. My experience as school counselor and LPC includes working with individuals who are experiencing feelings of anxiety, stress, feelings of overwhelm, and major life transitions. My goal is to work with you to better understand what you are experiencing and ways to help you cope, manage, and build your personal toolbox. My goal is be supportive, and provide you a nonjudgemental space where you can experience meaningful change.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is in providing a safe space for you to be open up. I work with you to help identify unhelpful thoughts/behavior patterns, develop your coping toolbox to experience relief. I work with adults who are stressed, worried, depressed, and feel overwhelmed. We work together to help build capacity and implement change.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, we'll spend time getting to know each other and discussing what brought you to therapy. You are welcome to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable sharing. This is your space, and we will move at a pace that feels right for you. I'll also ask questions to better understand your background, current concerns, and strengths so we can begin identifying goals and creating a plan that supports your growth and well-being.
