As a counselor for 15 years I have worked with people from all backgrounds to help them find their true self and a new path free of their burdens. I make it a priority to provide a safe space offering compassion, care, validation and support. I believe we are all capable of change and finding the best version of ourselves.
I am skilled in working with clients who are experiencing Depression, Anxiety, and PTSD. I am a Level 1 trained IFS therapist. I believe that healing internal wounds of the past is essential to your journey. I am also trained in Progressive Counting, a trauma informed therapy to address past trauma.
I look forward to working with you and building a therapeutic relationship. I am available for in person or telehealth sessions.
