Becoming a therapist was driven by wanting to help people unpack their emotional baggage and uncover new pathways. I find comfort in knowing that I have the ability to assist and be apart of your healing process.
“Because therapy involves a collaborative approach, we work together to build a therapeutic partnership that includes psychoeducation and positive change.”
Trying to balance your problems on your own can be a challenge.​
Trying to pinpoint the source can be even harder. Often times there could be so many stressors contributing to it, it becomes difficult to cope. Having someone who will listen free from judgment, can provide a sense of relief and peace. Together we can create that safe space where you will feel more empowered and less overwhelmed. “Our minds will lead us towards the path we envisioned.”
Therapy is a collaborative process, I use a person centered method that allows clients to take the lead in our discussions. I will assist you with the goals you envisioned for yourself. Together we will incorporate evidenced-based methods tailored for your situation. I specialize in treating individuals with issues such as stress, anxiety and depression.
