With over 20 years of experience as a mental health counselor, I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion, understanding and expert guidance. My passion lies in working with adolescents and adults, particularly those aged 16 and older, who are dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, life transitions and adjustment difficulties. Throughout my career, I've seen firsthand how overwhelming life can feel at times. My goal is to provide a safe, non- judgmental space where you can explore your emotions, discover your strengths, and develop the tools you need to overcome obstacles. I believe in the power of therapy to transform lives, helping people move from a place of uncertainty or distress to one of resilience, clarity, and self- empowerment.

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

Taking the first step toward counseling can feel intimidating, but it's also a powerful act of self-care. If you're ready to take the first step toward healing, I invite you to reach out. If you're wondering what to expect in your first session, here's an overview of how we'll begin our journey together in a safe, supportive, and non- judgmental environment. The first session is all about getting to know each other. It's an opportunity for you to share what brought you to counseling and for me to understand your concerns, goals, and hopes for therapy. I'll ask questions to learn more about your life, your current challenges, and what you're looking to achieve through our work together. You are welcome to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with, there's no pressure to go into everything right away. By the end of the first session, we'll have established a path forward based on your unique needs and goals. You'll leave with a clearer understanding of the process and what comes next, whether that's scheduling a follow-up session or starting to explore some initial strategies for managing your concerns.

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

I take a client- centered, holistic approach to therapy, ensuring that each session is tailored to your unique needs and goals. Whether you're seeking support managing anxiety, overcoming depression, or navigating a significant life change, I am here to guide you with empathy and respect. As an experienced therapist, I integrate evidenced- based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and strength- based approaches into my sessions. These tools combined with a deep commitment to your personal growth, allow us to work together to create a meaningful change in your life.
