Hi there! Taking this first step to counseling is not always easy. Whether you have been to therapy before or are starting for the first time, I am here to help. I believe in forming a positive relationship with clients, emphasizing the importance of a safe space for therapeutic rapport. I take an existential approach with my clients, to help clients foster their roles and responsibilities. My goal as a therapist is to help you feel empowered and capable without making you feel judged. I believe therapy should be collaborative and feel it is important to work with clients to help promote growth using your own timeline.

We are unique individuals, yet we also share so many things. We all have images about what our life should be like: our personality, our job, our relationships... and we get stressed or anxious when life is not living up to what we imagined. Worse, sometimes it feels like we have a war going on inside of us and we are not sure we are winning. This is when a therapist can help you to see things from a different perspective, make new connections, and explore new ways to approach your life.
