Great to meet you!

What began as a desire to help others became my new career as a therapist. After working both in the education and business worlds, I returned to school to follow my passion of helping others.I have over five years of experience as a therapist working with adolescent, young adult, and adult clients. My goal as a therapist is to help my clients cope effectively with anxiety and depression, increase self-esteem and manage life stressors.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I believe that the relationship between client and therapist is at the heart of successful therapy. You know yourself best, and it is my job as a therapist to support you in this journey. While I am certified in CBT, it is important that any approach to therapy is based on your needs. Together we will identify and work on challenges you face so you can achieve the change you desire.

What you can expect from our first session

My goal for our sessions is to provide a safe, nurturing environment in service of helping you learn to navigate life stressors, cope with trauma, and become your best self. After understanding what motivates you, we begin to build skills needed to empower you to cope with and manage past and current stressors, reframe negative beliefs, and advocate for yourself.
