I hope I can bring some support and walk with you through the journey of healing.

It is my greatest honor to build genuine connections with clients while witnessing them grow right out of therapy! I’m a bit of an odd duck - energetic, sincere and known to enjoy a good laugh in session. To amplify the impacts of traditional therapy methods (primarily CBT), I enjoy helping clients blend their unique talents, interests and spirituality into our work together. The types of spiritual beliefs/practices I'm most familiar with include Mysticism, Nonduality and Christianity. Going through or been through a spiritual (re)awakening? I've got you!! I am also passionate about supporting clients' creativity to reach goals more efficiently and increase overall long-term wellbeing. *Side note: I do not offer testing for ADHD, autism, or bipolar disorders.
