Hello! You have taken a courageous first step by considering psychotherapy. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, experiencing difficulty in relationships, going through a life transition, wanting to make a change or to grow your self confidence, I am here for you. I believe that therapy is an opportunity to invest in and explore our true selves, and healing can begin once a person feels seen and understood. My priority is to ensure that you feel safe and comfortable so that we can work together to reach your goals and make positive life changes.
I have 12 years of experience in the counseling field and have worked with individuals of various backgrounds and ages. In my private practice, I have focused working with individuals who are looking to manage anxiety, increase self-esteem, improve boundaries and communication in their relationships with others, learn about themselves and change patterns.
My therapeutic approach is nurturing and tailored to meet you where you are without judgment or pressure. I believe that each person is the expert of their own life, and deserves to be heard and treated with respect. I know it can be challenging to find a therapist who is a good fit, therefore I offer a free 15-min phone consultation upon request.
