Have you been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or alone? Do you struggle with low self-esteem or lack self-love? Are you looking for someone to help you or your child/teen develop healthy coping skills and confidence? People chose therapy for an endless amount of reasons. Starting therapy can be as simple as you want to. No matter what your reason is for being here, I am able to provide you with a safe space to navigate your concerns, challenges and stressors. With support and compassion, we will develop a therapeutic connection to help you heal, grow, and achieve the healthiest you that you desire.
I work with humans from all walks of life! I am passionate about helping my clients explore desired outcomes in life, discover their true self, their passions, and develop belief in their abilities to navigate life’s challenges! I enjoy using solution-focused and strength-based techniques, CBT, and working on self-love, boundaries, and communication!
Everyone deserves a safe & comforting space to feel supported, work through challenges and/or work toward their healthiest self! My experience & knowledge working with anxiety, burnout, low self-esteem, and varying ages/backgrounds combined with your own expertise on your life, makes us a great team. Let me be by your side on your journey to a healthy you.
