In therapy, my number one concern is creating a safe space for my clients to express themselves, whether it’s through art therapy or talk therapy, or maybe a little of both! I have found that once my clients feel comfortable and supported by me, they have been able to begin making exciting strides in their awareness of themselves and thus, make important changes to enhance their quality of life. My goal is to guide clients through their journey to their own self-discovery and gather the tools suited for their personality to successfully address life’s challenges.

Are you feeling anxious or overwhelmed? Stressed or defeated? Life seems complex in new and insurmountable ways these days. Many people struggle to find answers to problems they were never prepared for. I know it’s hard to acknowledge that we don’t know what to do. I understand the weight of asking yourself “Where do I go from here?” I support my clients by providing clarity on how their behavior and unresolved issues affect them in their daily lives. I help my clients slow down and understand what's going on cognitively and physically so that we can break cycles and create new strategies to start finishing unfinished business.

This sensitive approach is essential for making clients feel secure and truly understood, particularly when exploring complex issues related to identity, including sexual orientation, gender identity, and cultural or racial backgrounds. My goal is to create a supportive space where clients can feel safe to express themselves and explore their identities without fear.
