I am a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor who understands that life's constant responsibilities can get in the way of what comes first - you. My goal is to create a safe and welcoming environment where individuals can feel comfortable telling their truth, gaining perspective, and setting goals. I utilize a warm, empathetic, person-centered approach through honesty and authenticity. I have worked with diverse populations, including LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities. Therapy is the ultimate form of self-care, and you should be proud for taking the first step. I have experience with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I value creating a collaborative treatment plan with my clients by integrating relevant and important factors of their lives. By applying the work done within sessions to your everyday life, you can meet your goals and create a healthy lifestyle that best suits your needs. It can be scary to start your therapy journey, but it doesn't have to be. Through conversation, I will try to ease your concerns and emphasize that therapy is about YOU. You are the conductor of your goals, boundaries, and success. I am here to guide you and find an approach that is comfortable and safe
