About me
I am a pre-licensed professional counselor dedicated to helping individuals with anxiety, coping skills, and depression.
Do you desire a safe, secure, and nonjudgmental space to share your story and be heard? Allow me the opportunity to help create that space with you. I look at the world around me and see the need for better. I see a need for those who are struggling from challenges to be treated with dignity and respect. It is my belief that no one should be left to carry their burdens alone or feel trapped inside their own minds. I am here to let you know that you are not alone and you are far more than the sum of your struggles, challenges, or circumstances.
As a counselor, my passion lies in helping you come to terms with your past, embrace your present, and move forward into a fulfilling future. I approach therapy from a humanistic and existential perspective that cultivates self-awareness, self-understanding, acceptance, growth, and responsibility in my clients. Let's work together to draw on your strengths.
I am fully committed to providing an environment of acceptance, hope, and encouragement. Receiving encouragement from others is important because it acts as a catalyst that pushes us to strive toward our full potential. All I ask is that you trust yourself and trust the process. Come sit with me and tell me your story.
