We all face challenges at different points in our lives. At times, we may need support in navigating difficult situations and emotions. My goal is to empower individuals to develop the self-awareness, coping skills, and confidence needed to better understand themselves and overcome life's obstacles. I specialize in treatment of adolescents and adults struggling with a range of emotional challenges, including anxiety, depression/related mood disorders, relationship issues, and disordered eating. As an experienced high school social worker, I am also well-versed in the Special Education process and management of IEP and 504 Plans.
I believe that successful counseling begins with a genuine and supportive therapeutic relationship. I aim to create a safe and welcoming environment through compassion, warmth, honesty, and humor. My approach to therapy is collaborative, solution-focused, and highly personalized to align with each client's unique goals and values.
Making the decision to begin therapy is a big step, that requires both strength and courage. It is also an investment in your quality of life. Together, we will work to develop healthy and practical ways to improve your situation and achieve your goals. Let's get started on your journey - you deserve it!
