About

You are not ALONE! Life can be difficult, and we all need support. It takes a lot of courage to reach out to a therapist and I am excited to help you along this journey. I am here to help you through the good and bad. It is important for you to have a safe space to talk about your thoughts and feelings. I use a collaborative approach when developing meaningful relationships with clients. The most important part of the therapist-patient relationship is trust and honesty. I work hard to create a safe and open space for clients to express their feelings free of judgement. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I use several techniques to address specific client needs. I have over ten years of experience helping clients get through difficult times in their lives. I work with adults, families, couples, adolescents, and children. One of my goals with kids is to help give them the motivation and confidence to speak their mind and advocate for what they feel is right. My areas of specialty include depression, anxiety, and trauma. My overall goal is to give people support and space to have ongoing conversations about how to address and improve specific situations. I look forward to being the support system you need to get through hard times. I am here to help you be the BEST you! I invite you to reach out to discuss how we can work together to form a bond and create a plan to meet your mental health goals.
