I am very passionate about working with adolescents, young adults, and adult individuals between the ages of 13-50 years old who have experienced Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Generalized Mental Health Issues, Relationship/Family/Peer Issues, etc. I work best with individuals who want to work on bettering themselves and/or need an unbiased person to speak to about the struggles they are going through in their life.
I have experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults between the ages of 6-25. I primarily worked with individuals who experienced trauma in one way or another but also worked with individuals who had other generalized mental health problems. I am open to providing proper coping skills with a person-centered, individual approach.
I believe to have a successful therapeutic experience, the therapist and client’s relationship must be one built on trust and connection. I will always do my best and prioritize a safe, empathetic, and accepting space for you to explore your struggles, fears, and current/past issues.
This is my first time in therapy. What can I expect?
In therapy, you can expect a welcoming and supportive space where we’ll work together to explore your feelings, set personal goals, and develop coping strategies for challenges like anxiety, stress, grief, and more. I’ll tailor our approach using techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to meet your unique needs, empowering you to make positive changes at your own pace.
How do I get started with therapy?
The first step is to fill out the contact form with your information to the best of your ability. One of our intake specialists will then reach out to answer any questions you may have and schedule a brief phone consultation.

How often would we meet?
There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to therapy. In the beginning, we typically recommend meeting on a weekly basis. This gives us a chance to get to know one another, and as our work together develops, we encourage personal assessments so we can create a schedule that suits your specific needs.
