I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to help clients explore and develop their own agency to tackle the issues they want to work on. I work with clients experiencing mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD, men's issues, LGBTQ+ issues, and relational issues.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe everyone has the agency to make changes, develop and cultivate their strengths, and grow as a person. I believe in a collaborative approach to therapy to work with clients to develop and implement their strengths and develop and grow new strengths and self-confidence.In sessions, I prioritize meeting clients where they are in life, allowing them the freedom to progress according to their comfort.
