I help clients identify and navigate emotions and behaviors that impact their daily lives with the use of compassion, understanding and validation. My focus I work with adults, adolescents and families navigating anxiety, life transitions, trauma, anger and grief challenges. Together, we will work to address the emotions and behaviors while building self-esteem, coping skills, and boundaries to achieve goals.

I strive to meet the client where they are and communicate in a manner that mets their personal style so the therapeutic relationship can grow and clients feel seen and heard. My journey to mental healthcare My journey with therapy began when I worked in child welfare.

I am motivated to provide that environment for clients and their growth. My goals for you Together, we will work to develop and set attainable, realistic goals. As we check in with the goals set, we will adjust and change the goals to ensure they continue to align with the progress of treatment.
