Ages: 14+
I am passionate about working with individuals aged 14+ who have experienced difficult life transitions, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, insomnia, and relationship difficulties. My approach to counseling includes elements of psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, and person-centered. I believe that you are the expert of your life and my role is to support you with your goals.
I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is collaborative and built on trust. I prioritize cultivating a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive environment through empathetic listening that empowers you to reach your personal goals.
I like to meet people where they are at and adjust my practice to each clients’ needs. If you are looking to start your mental health journey, maintain your current goals, or a place to feel heard, this could be a great place for you to start. I would consider it an honor to be a part of your journey.
