My approach is all about authenticity and delving into the rich complexities of what makes us human. My goal is to work with you in a true partnership, helping you take charge of your journey and achieve the outcomes you're aiming for. I strive to create a space where you can feel safe and free from judgment — a place where every part of your identity is respected and valued and where you can explore your inner strengths and unlock your full potential.
I have experience working with diverse populations in a variety of settings, enabling me to support adolescents, adults, couples, and families, with a particular focus on teens and young adults. I use a variety of proven techniques, always tailoring the approach to fit your unique needs and make your counseling experience as effective as possible
My own personal experiences are what led me to pursuing this fulfilling career and I deeply understand the challenges of taking that initial step towards therapy firsthand, I empathize with the courage it requires. I’m eager to start this collaborative journey with you, fostering growth, resilience, and empowerment in pursuit of your well-being.
