I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who struggle with depression, anger management, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, and more. Life experiences can often leave us feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to navigate our emotions, leading to a sense of chaos or lack of control. If you're seeking to learn skills for managing and expressing your emotions healthily, I'm here to help. Whether you need a safe space to process stressors or traumatic experiences, I'm committed to guiding you through it. Let's begin the journey towards becoming the best version of yourself.
I provide a safe space for my clients to be authentic and open about their experiences. With my background in Neuroscience, I offer insight into how the brain functions and how life experiences can impact brain development. I utilize interventions aimed at dismantling negative changes, empowering clients to overcome challenges and achieve growth.
As a therapist, building a strong relationship with you is my top priority. I meet you where you are and give you control over how our sessions are structured. My role is to empower you with the skills and insights needed to gain a new perspective on life, ultimately helping you achieve your goals and overcome challenges.
