Introduction

Through compassion and support, I look to empower my clients to build resilience, self-awareness, and autonomy. I aim to equip my clients with tools to navigate their personal journey with confidence. Since we all come from unique backgrounds with various needs, none of us fit into the same box. My focus is to ensure the therapeutic journey is collaborative and tailored to best fit you, as an individual. I work diligently to provide a safe, judgement-free zone, where I welcome feedback and questions. Many people use the label “expert” when referring to a therapist, but I believe YOU are the expert of YOUR own life. With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I enjoy working with children 11+, teens, college students, emerging adults, and adults with diverse backgrounds. I use an eclectic approach, drawing from a variety of therapeutic tools and modalities in which I have experience, training, or certification. Working alongside my clients, I help to illuminate areas of their lives needing focus, set meaningful goals, and build skills to foster a sustainable holistic approach to long-term emotional balance. I'm passionate about helping others navigate life's challenges with courage, and will always meet you where you are on your personal wellness journey.
