I am passionate about helping individuals build confidence and alleviate symptoms of anxiety, trauma, substance use and depression. Through our work together, my goal is to empower you with effective coping skills and strategies to navigate life’s stressors and challenges. I meet you where you are and will support you every step of the way, guiding you towards healthier emotional well-being and resilience.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session, we reviewed intake assessment and start with introduction. I allow time for clients to expand on reasons bring them into therapy to provide me with a greater understanding of current concerns. This allows us to develop appropriate goals for our time together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a therapist working with professionals, I strive to create a safe, inclusive space for clients from all walks of life. Each individual comes with unique life circumstances, seeking to grow and reach their next level. With extensive experience in setting measurable goals, I guide clients toward achieving their best selves and making lasting progress.

I specialize in working with adults who are ready to create change and develop new skills. Many of my clients are navigating life transitions, dealing with the effects of generational trauma or trauma events, substance use or feeling uncertain about their next steps. I provide the tools, insights, and support needed to help them move forward with clarity and confidence.
