Welcome!

I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, trauma and or more. I focus on helping clients develop awareness, boundaries, and new skills, that can help improve their quality of life. Counseling can foster self-awareness and personal growth. In addition, counseling empowers you to make informed decisions and achieve you goals If that's what you're looking for, I'm here when you're ready to share.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific concerns, family history, personal history, risk, challenges you're facing and goals. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked with a variety of clients from adolescents to adults, I've developed a playbook for helping you identify the root cause of your challenges, create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress and provide tools and skills to help you reach your goals.
