About My Clients

My ideal client is open to growing as an individual. The populations that I best serve are teenagers and young adults experiencing anxiety, depression, and stress. With a safe space for self expression and coping mechanisms to overcome difficulties, my clients are equipped with the necessary tools to make positive internal and external changes. Remember: You are not your emotions, feelings, or thoughts!

My Background and Approach

I view the counseling process as a collaborative effort between counselor and client. I pride myself in encouraging my clients to come as they are and meeting them where they are at. I mainly utilize a person-centered counseling approach, however, my counseling approach is uniquely tailored to each individual client.
