Working with people, and helping them achieve their goals in their personal, professional, and social life is something I have always been passionate about assisting others. Over the past 5 years in the mental health field I have seen many adolescents and adults go through many traumatic experiences and it has been an honor to help support my clients in a way they need. I have extensive experience in the schools as a mental health counselor, which allows me to provide an integrated approach to your care as I can collaborate with schools, doctors, case workers, and other professionals. My experience is working with depression and anxiety, LGBTQ+ identities, mood disorders, healing from trauma, ADHD, ADD, Autistic Spectrum disorder, and more. I use a person centered counseling technique as well as solution centered, mindfulness, and CBT with my clients primarily, but I am always centered around what technique works best for each individual in their growth.

Life isn't easy, and things can get really hard, and I personally believe the purpose of my work with you is to help you navigate life's challenges by being being present with you, and helping you find exactly what you are looking for. I often focus on an honest and direct approach to growth while at the same time providing you with a space of safety and trust within our time together. I am a person-centered therapist and find tremendous value in having an unconditional positive regard for you, as you tell your story. Life isn't just about what happens TO us, but its also about what we happen to DO with it. Our challenges and pain don't have to be the end to our story, it can just be the first chapter. Thank you for trusting me and taking this big step to talking with someone.

I look forward to working with you.
