About My Clients

Do you find yourself in the middle of change with a sense of uncertainty? Do you often wish you had a space to speak freely without judgement and get interactive feedback? Do you struggle with daily activities because of the constant worry and/or depressed mood? I know the feeling; avoiding anything that causes a bit of discomfort, keeping all of it in so that you don't burden someone else; It can be difficult to lend ourselves compassion. Together we will get you to the happier, healthier you.

My Background and Approach

Whether you are new and looking to give therapy a try or you have been in therapy before, you deserve to be heard and validated. Working with me, I will tailor your time in therapy to you as a unique individual. While we spend time getting to know each other, we can develop healthy and attainable goals that truly reflect your ultimate idea of mental wellness. Therapy is and should be about you because you are the only true expert on yourself. I can help guide and empower you in finding your true self as you build upon the person you already are. There is no doubt that therapy is hard work, but if you are willing and able to put in the work, I am ready to help facilitate that growth.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Most often, I work with depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationships issues, communication skills, and self-development; I am also an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community. I am willing and open to working with any client who is looking for change or improvement of themselves and their daily lives. I aim to help alleviate symptoms that affect clients’ mental health and collaborate with my clients to help them get to a comfortable, healthy place in their lives. My main approaches to counseling are Person-Centered, Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Strength-Based, and Mindfulness. I believe that it is important not to take myself too seriously, to have humility, and to recognize and set healthy boundaries for myself. To me, having a true understanding and willingness to accept each other as unique individuals is an integral part of any client-counselor relationship.
