About My Clients

Are you always a little bit afraid that an anxiety attack is waiting around the corner? Have you been hit with surprise anxiety more times than you can count? I know exactly what you're feeling: the pounding chest, the shortness of breath, the feeling that the walls are closing in and you need out NOW. Attacks can be terrifying, and I don't want you to have to suffer them anymore. I look forward to teaching you tools to take your life back.

My Background and Approach

I decided to become a therapist because I have always wanted to help people. My journey to become a therapist has been long. During this journey, all my previous endeavors were all related to helping others. Whether it was as an Emergency Medical Technician, massage therapist, peer counselor, or being that friend who always there for others. I enjoy seeing individuals grow and gain a better understanding of themselves.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I don't believe that there is a limit to human capacity. I think the main reason we develop mental health issues is because they are unhealthy learned behaviors that we have picked up along the way. Which means that I think you can unlearn the faulty behaviors and replace them with healthy ones.
