I also use humor and active listening to help you feel at ease and meet what you are needing in the moment. My journey to mental healthcare Becoming a therapist was not on my bingo card initially. Then, I noticed that I had a passion for helping people achieve their goals in life and to be there to support them along the way.

I will help you navigate by providing healthy coping tools, mindfulness, and evidenced based strategies to use outside of sessions.
