Sometimes life presents challenges we don’t feel equipped to face alone. Perhaps you're at a crossroads and feeling stuck or unsure about where to turn next. Or maybe you're grieving the loss of an important relationship, navigating a divorce, struggling with challenges in parenting, or living under the heavy weight of depression, anxiety, or past trauma. No matter what issue you choose to bring to counseling, I strive to create a safe and supportive space for you to process your feelings, heal old wounds, make important life decisions, and grow in greater understanding of yourself and your relationships with others.
The foundation of my approach is person-centered and trauma-informed. I bring my authentic self to therapy and create a safe space for my clients to do the same. From there, we can create a treatment plan that prioritizes your needs and choose the most effective modalities to help you achieve your goals.
Whatever you're facing, please know you don't have to face it alone. I offer a free 30-minute consultation so we can get to know each other better and decide if I am the right fit for your current needs. Reach out today and let's talk about how I can best support you. Healing is possible, and by looking for a counselor, you are one step closer already!
