About me
Choosing to pursue therapy is a courageous step toward healing & growing into a more positive lifestyle. It is my goal to provide a safe, comfortable space for you to be your truest self & get the most out of your therapy experience without judgment. Therapy can be whatever you want it to be, and each individual is unique in their expectations & goals - I am more than happy to meet you where you are! I rely on empathy & understanding paired with strong evidence-based skills to create lasting positive changes. I prioritize taking time to get to know you to understand your story & create a plan together to address your goals!
I work with people of all ages & backgrounds, but my focus is on adolescents, young adults, & couples. I work with many issues, but I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, life changes, family & relationship problems. If you have an issue not listed here, please let me know & we can discuss the issue together to decide if this is the right fit for you!
Therapy can be nerve-wracking, vulnerable, & challenging, but it can also be inspiring, motivating, & fun! It is an amazing, powerful tool to not only problem-solve & grow but to learn so much about yourself. I am dedicated to empowering individuals to overcome their mental health struggles & personal barriers to help you live how you want to live!
