I work with adults and older adolescents. I am passionate about helping others learn to cope with stressors in their lives and be able to communicate with others more effectively. I hope to help you through any tough transitions you may be going through to develop a positive state of mind and emotional, relational, and physical well-being. If you want to create positive change in your life or your relationships, I am ready to walk alongside you to help you find your way!
I take a trauma-informed and strength-based approach using positive psychology and mindfulness to help you develop skills that tackle the obstacles to your health and happiness. I am trained in several helpful therapeutic modalities, and I have experience treating various issues, including life transitions, grief, loss, anxiety, depression, and more.
I strive to provide a judgment-free, safe space where you can make desired changes toward your best and most authentic life.
