Can you picture a better way to live your life but you're not sure how to get to get there? Do you find that you are often getting in the way of your own goals in life? My passion is helping people learn more about themselves and learn to accept themselves as they are. My work is based on building honest and genuine connections with my clients to ensure that I am creating a safe, open space for them to share their life and their struggles with someone they can trust.
I work with individuals who experience anxiety, depression, ADHD, and interpersonal issues. I often work with teens, adults, and marginalized communities including the LGBTQ+ community. I do so by having an eclectic approach consisting of person-centered therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), multicultural counseling, and several others.
At the end of the day, you are the expert on yourself and counseling is a personalized, collaborative experience. I’m looking forward to joining you in your journey to build a healthy relationship with yourself and the world around you.

I typically use person-centered counseling as a foundation when working with others. I may add elements of other techniques and theories (CBT, ACT, DBT, narrative, etc.) if I feel they may be a better fit for our sessions. But at the very core, my sessions are focused on getting to know you and collaborating on how I can best help facilitate your growth and healing.
