About me
*CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* I am passionate about working with individuals who are ready to discover healthier coping skills to deal with life stressors in a supportive and non-judgmental space. Together, with my support and guidance, we can discover your inner-voice and navigate through difficult circumstances towards your individual goals and your own life direction. I encourage my clients to explore undiscovered parts of themselves as well as patterns of behavior that are no longer serving them.
Therapy is a collaborative process and I take a trauma-informed approach to provide you with an authentic and accepting space to heal. Throughout this process, I make an active effort to encourage you to recognize your strength and ability to create change, as well as to grow your confidence in self-awareness and self-advocacy.
I work with teens and adults, with some of my specialities including anxiety, depression, life transitions, and self-esteem. If you are at a place of wanting to make positive changes and growth in your life, I offer prospective clients a free 15-minute phone consultation to determine if we are a good fit. I look forward to discussing this further with you.
