About My Clients

Our first session will be a collaborative, no-pressure opportunity for us to get to know each other. I'll begin by inviting you to share your story at your own pace, focusing on what you are experiencing now and what you hope to achieve. We'll discuss your personal history, your strengths, and the challenges you're facing. I will ask questions to understand your unique experiences with trauma, anxiety, or other concerns. I will always remain nonjudgmental.

My Background and Approach

My greatest strength as a therapist is my ability to connect with people on a genuine level. I believe a strong connection is the foundation of all healing. My passion is to help you feel empowered to take the lead in your own life and make meaningful changes. I'll work collaboratively with you, listening to your story and guiding you to a place where you can see your true strength and value. I firmly believe that everyone is created with a unique purpose, and my goal is to help you discover and embrace yours.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My purpose is to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth. I support children, adolescents, and adults, and I have a deep passion for helping those who feel they've run out of solutions. Having experience with severe mental illness and high-acuity needs, I'm prepared for complex challenges. I see each session as an opportunity to co-lead with you, empowering you to navigate your path. My passion is rooted in my heart for mental illness and addiction. As a young person myself, I witnessed the impact of mental illness and addiction on my family, friends, and local community. Together, we will find a way forward.
