I will encourage you to identify and draw from the internal strengths you have as well as introducing you to the therapeutic approaches that guide my practice to assist you in coping with the challenges you are experiencing.

I love to work with adolescents (16+) and adults on their own healing journey and guide you in finding your own strength in the process.

•••Currently Accepting New Clients••• My passion to be a therapist has been inspired by my own experiences, which has guided me to a path where I can support others through their own growth and healing. I utilize a person-centered approach to therapy because we are each shaped differently by our own experiences, and in turn, our mental health and recovery may also look quite different from each other. My approach emphasizes the importance of building trust and providing an environment that is easy-going so that my clients are able to fully explore and work on the various life challenges in a way that is comfortable and safe.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship problems, anger issues?
