Hello. I am Dr. C. Thank you so much for being here! You are not here by accident and I do not take your presence for granted.​ I'm thrilled to meet you on this journey. Your decision to seek support is a powerful one, and I'm here to walk this path with you. I bring over a decade of experience working with people from all walks of life. In cities, diversity thrives, and I've had the privilege of connecting with individuals of various ages and backgrounds in both clinical and volunteer roles within the mental health field. I'm genuinely excited to work with you, to help you become a healthier, happier version of yourself. Starting this journey is a significant step, and I want to thank you for your openness and trust. I know that this process can be tough, but together, we can navigate it. I can't wait to connect with you soon and begin this important chapter!

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

With me, your lived experiences will serve as the the centerpiece of our journey together. You won't have to spend time and energy educating your therapist about your unique challenges. You'll get a therapist who is dedicated to understanding and supporting individuals just as they are, just like you. I understand that being human can be an incredibly complex and often lonely journey. In the first session you can expect a conversation to discuss your present concern(s) and identify a pathway to navigating forward if you feel comfortable with me being your co-pilot on your journey forward.

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

As I am deemed and expert of many things. You are the expert of your life experiences and have control over what you choose to share and how you would like to use your time in this space. I will present information, some challenges, and a neutral perspective to whatever you present to support you with getting to where you want to be. I have no expectations….except that you come as you are. This is a space where things don’t have to sound right, but instead you feel the freedom to give sound to the things that you have been holding in. Together we will make sense of what comes out and what to do with it. I am a holistic practitioner meaning that I support you with attuning to who you are mind and body. My approach is to help you be the best version of yourself.

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

My true passion lies in advocating for individuals and families from all walks of life. My mission? Turning unique challenges into inspiring success stories. I'm committed to making every person I encounters feel genuinely seen and heard. Life's transitions and obstacles are unavoidable, often leading to emotional distress for us all. Juggling numerous roles, unexpected challenges, and the weight of generational and interpersonal traumas can deeply impact our sense of self. But rest assured, you're not alone in facing these struggles. Your presence here is valued, and I am honored to accompany you on this transformative journey, taking it one step at a time.
