Whether you are feeling anxious, helpless, stuck or depressed, you do not have to overcome the challenges of life alone. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them identify ways to improve their quality of life. I believe that humans are resilient and have the resources to face obstacles in life. I appreciate each individual's unique personality and background. Contact me to learn more about my services and/or set up an initial appointment.
As a licensed mental health counselor, I aim to create trust-based relationships as well as a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients. I tailor my therapy techniques to fit your specific needs and goals. My therapy style is strength-based, genuine and supportive.
I use both humanistic and evidence-based treatment techniques including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution-focused Therapy, Mindfulness, Existential therapy and Person-Centered therapy.
