About me
My approach is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard, allowing clients to connect deeply with their inner selves. I work collaboratively with individuals, respecting their unique experiences and perspectives to tailor the therapeutic journey according to their needs.
As a dedicated person-centered, pre-licensed therapist, I believe in the inherent potential of each individual to grow, heal, and find fulfillment. I strive to create a safe, welcoming environment where clients feel empowered to explore their thoughts and feelings without judgment.
As a Nationally Certified Counselor with a Master’s degree in Counseling and over 2 years of experience, I have successfully aided clients dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and self-exploration. My goal is to foster personal insight and self-acceptance, enabling clients to develop coping strategies and a deeper understanding of their emotions.
Outside of therapy, I enjoy reading, spending time in nature, listening to music, and exploring mindfulness practices, which I often integrate into my sessions. I am committed to lifelong learning in the field of mental health, continuously seeking to enhance my skills to better serve my clients.
If you’re looking for a compassionate partner in your journey toward healing and self-discovery, I welcome the opportunity to work with you.
