Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During our first session, we will focus on getting to know one another and establishing a strong therapeutic relationship. I will listen carefully to your concerns, gather relevant background information, and work with you to identify your treatment goals. This initial meeting serves as an opportunity for you to ask questions, express your expectations, and determine if we are a good fit to work together on your mental health journey.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I specialize in working with individuals dealing with a wide range of mental health challenges, including ADHD, addiction, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, trauma, and more. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to process their experiences, develop coping skills, and work towards positive change.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am looking to work with someone who is on their journey to self improvement. My primary goal is to empower you to lead a fulfilling life in alignment with your values and aspirations. Through our work together, I aim to help you gain insight into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors; develop effective coping strategies; and build resilience in the face of life's challenges.
