LCSW, 10 years of experience
"If you are always trying to be normal you will never know how amazing you can be" Maya Angelou Do you ever wish your parents understood you or knew where you were coming from? Do you wish your friends would get you and listen? Is it hard to be just yourself without the judgments of others? I help empower others to become the best versions of themselves. Together we can identify ways to manage and cope with just life. Therapy can be scary and anxiety-producing. I am here to hold your hand as you transition into self-acceptance, becoming the best you possible while navigating anxiety, depression, mood irregularities, feeling overwhelmed, and adjusting to day-to-day life. You deserve to have a safe, comforting space where you can begin to heal and grow. I will meet you with empathy, compassion, and a down-to-earth-centered approach. Let's get you back in a good space so you can live the life you were meant to live! Mental Health is not a destination.....it's a journey.
Expect to get an approach that is focused just on you, while providing therapy utilizing best practices. I want you to feel good about therapy overall and our therapeutic relationship. If I am not a good fit for you, don't just give up on therapy, let's work together to find you someone who is!
