As a counselor, your wellness is my top priority. I work hard to create a safe environment where you feel empowered, validated, and authentically seen. Ultimately, my job is assisting you in reaching the goals you've set out for yourself. Your goals are achievable!
I specialize in working with individuals and couples. My mental health specialties include trauma/PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, stress, life transitions, and sports performance. My couples specialties are communication, conflict resolution, and trust issues.
To me, there is no better feeling than being truly seen by another person completely absent of judgment. Within the therapeutic relationship, I believe you accelerate toward the positive changes you desire when you have the courage to allow yourself to be vulnerable and genuinely seen. Take the first step—REACH OUT.
