About
I strive to create a therapeutic environment to help others heal and explore different challenges life may bring. My goal is to provide a warm, understanding, and safe environment where my clients can process their feelings and increase self-awareness, confidence, and learn new coping skills to manage stressors. This may include current problems or long lasting patterns. I understand that life can get busy, so I will do my best to accommodate your schedule.
I specialize in working with individuals who suffer from anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, relationship issues, and substance abuse. I have also worked closely with individuals who have experienced narcissistic abuse and/or other abuse within relationships. I work with teenagers and adults (ages 13+) through individual, family, couples, or group work.
I truly enjoy building a genuine connection to my clients. I will work collaboratively with you to help you become the best version of yourself. You do not have to be alone in this process and I will be here every step of the way. I look forward to working with you!
I pride myself in developing a genuine connection to my clients and believe that this is an important key to identifying concerns, setting goals, and discovering solutions. I look forward to helping you become the best version of yourself. I am truly passionate about the work that I do and feel lucky that I get to be apart of my clients journies as they learn about themselves and grow.
