About My Clients

Has anxiety left you feeling defeated, worried about everything? Is depression making you feel stuck and like there is no light at the end of the tunnel? Are your relationships suffering because you are overthinking or just don't have the motivation to tend to them? These are all valid feelings when dealing with anxiety and depression. I am here to help you learn to navigate these feelings and help you overcome the barriers that are holding you back.

My Background and Approach

As a licensed professional clinical counselor working in private practice since 2021, I have walked alongside many clients who've dealt with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, low self-esteem, PTSD, trauma, grief, and so much more. Prior to my work in private practice I worked as a clinician in an inpatient psychiatric hospital where I saw a lot of patients with severe mental health symptoms. I have knowledge and experience helping those with mild to moderate and severe symptoms. My approach is very person centered- I meet clients where they are on their journey, with warmth and a non-judgmental stance. The clients are the authors of their stories and I am simply there to help provide them the tools and skills needed to face their struggles and become the best version of themselves. My goal as a therapist is to empower my clients so that they can flourish and get out of survival mode and step into thriving mode.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone has the ability to turn unhealthy behaviors into healthy behaviors as long as they are provided with the right skills and tools. We all struggle sometimes, therefore having a good support system is necessary in order to overcome obstacles. I believe in building a strong therapeutic alliance with all of my clients as that is the foundation for success in therapy. I also recognize that I may not be the right fit for all clients that come to my private practice. If we meet and we determine that I may not be the right fit for you as a therapist, then I will be more than happy to help you find the right therapist, so that you are successful on your journey to healing.
