About My Clients

Many clients who seek my psychotherapy services experience stress, anxiety, or depression, often stemming from life transitions, grief, or struggles with interpersonal relationships and self-identity. Whether they are new to therapy or have tried it before, clients may feel apprehensive about continuing their healing journey. In our sessions, clients find a welcoming, supportive, and comfortable environment where they feel understood and heard.

I provide psychotherapy to adults and utilize a strength-based, relational approaches in therapy. I have over 6 years of experience in treating mental health issues, such as stress, anxiety, and homesickness with college students, veteran struggles, relationship/family challenges, etc. I utilize humor which helps instill positivity confidence, and hope. I provide a supportive and empathetic therapeutic environment by meeting my clients where they are at.
