Hello and welcome! I have been a therapist for over 15 years and I believe therapy is a safe place to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We can learn how your past influences your decisions today and help you overcome any struggles you might be facing. I can help you find peace and calm in a world that is sometimes chaotic and stressful. I have experience in healing trauma, improving symptoms of depression, and reducing anxiety. With that said, I’ll also emphasize self-care and self-love because you are important and you matter!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I consider our first session together a time to get to know one another. I'll talk about some of the legalities like confidentiality and privacy because I want you to feel secure when sharing personal information with me. I'll give you a brief background on who I am and after that, let's talk about why you're here. This is time we are both sharing together and I want you to feel comfortable leading or you can sit back and let me do the talking! Either way, we'll find what works best for you. I'm open and accommodating. We can ease into this journey or dive right in! Whatever feels right for you.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I've worked with people for a long time now and I've developed strategies to make others feel comfortable and accepted. I'm intuitive and empathetic but I can also be a firm guide for anyone who is struggling with mental health symptoms and looking to make changes. In the past, clients have expressed that I've helped them improve their coping skills. I've guided them to look at problems from different angles and I've helped them uncover and discover strengths and the courage to tackle whatever life throws their way.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I believe therapy is a conversation to be had in a safe mental space that we create together. You are the expert on you and I'm here to help you, guide you, and empower you. I'm here to listen, to empathize, and to share in your successes and growth. I can be your partner and cheerleader in this therapy journey and we will figure out what works best for you in a therapeutic setting. Mostly, I feel honored that someone is willing to share so much of themselves with me. It takes a lot of courage to speak up and out and I'm proud of anyone who takes that step!
