My specific lens centers around helping clients better their relationship with themselves through empowerment and self exploration.
Are you someone who often wonders if life will always be a struggle? You might find yourself struggling with feelings of depression, anxiety, and low self worth wondering if it is even possible for that to change. If you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired, you’re not alone. As a clinician I aim to build a relationship where we can work together to unpack your experiences, understand life patterns, and create healing. I focus on creating space for clients of all identities to meet their goals in order to reach their full potential.

I believe wholeheartedly that if a person is able to develop an ability to access their own courage, vulnerability, and grace for themselves and others, beautiful therapeutic change can occur. As your therapist, I see my relationship with you as someone who will stand steadfastly beside you in a bond of trust, unconditional positive regard, and empathy as you face the full catastrophe we call “being alive”. Together, we can build a creative and functional toolbox to help you approach life. The goal is for you to thrive through the moments of joy, the in-between, and yes… even in moments of sadness.

I believe the therapeutic relationship fosters an environment to heal and learn healthy coping.
Just so you know, my eyes don't see the person you used to be, I only see the person you are fighting to become! This defines the work I do daily with my clients. The willingness to face things you want to change, is all it takes. Fear is expected as change comes, however we can BUILD a toolbox of coping skills to diminish the fear & anxiety you have. I will support you with empathy & compassion along the pathway to healing. Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart. Peace in your soul is obtainable, let me help you
