About My Clients

I offer online therapy to adults seeking support and guidance as they navigate transitions throughout the lifespan.

My Background and Approach

Each stage of life presents us with opportunities and challenges. When life's changes create uncertainty and instability, it's helpful to reach out for support. As your therapist, I will meet you in your current stage of wellness and welcome you into the counseling relationship with empathy, compassion and respect. I will offer the support you need and we will collaborate to set the course for your path to improved mental health and well-being. My objective as your therapist is to help you identify and embrace your own unique strengths and capabilities and empower you to overcome adversity and attain your desired outcomes. I will use a client-centered, trauma-informed, strengths-based approach to help identify and equip you with tools you can implement to create the positive changes you envision. I believe that we heal and grow in relationship with others, and I am committed to providing a safe space and a offering a nurturing and supportive relationship to facilitate healing.
