About My Clients

Most people have a lot of thoughts that go through their minds. We worry about friends and family, we think about our jobs and school, and sometimes we have random thoughts that don’t seem related to anything. But what if you're having trouble thinking about anything else? You may find that you feel overwhelmed by daily responsibilities, or maybe you are struggling to find fulfillment in your relationships.

My Background and Approach

I have always loved meeting new people and helping them to discover the best version of themselves. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked in a school setting working with children who had developmental disabilities and then later transferring into an outpatient setting where I provided counseling for teenagers and adults with substance use disorders. Through both experiences, I learned more about how trauma affects decision making and behaviors which led me to specialize in trauma treatment. An important part of my work is helping clients find the strength within themselves so they can be empowered to make positive changes in their lives.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

When you're struggling with something difficult, it can be hard to find someone who can help. You might not know where to start, or you might be afraid of judgment. I believe that everyone deserves to feel heard and understood. That's why I'm here—to provide a safe space for you to talk about your concerns and get the support that you need. Together, we'll work toward developing coping skills and identifying positive activities that fit into your unique life to help you feel recharged-and ready for whatever comes next!
