Deciding to begin your counseling journey is not an easy task, and I am aware of how important it is to find the counselor that works best with you. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 5 years of experience, and I strive to create a safe and comfortable environment for my clients as we work together to improve their mental health and face life’s challenges. I believe meaningful therapy should be a healthy mixture of care and empathy, as well as being challenged and putting in hard work. Majority of my experience is with children, adolescents, and young adults, but I work with individuals across the lifespan. I am able to provide trauma informed therapy, and I practice cultural humility when working with individuals from various cultures and ethnicities.

Specialized Areas of Care

My areas of practice include but are not limited to:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• ADHD/Autism
• LGBTQIA+ related needs
• Cultural/ethnic oppression
• Relationship concerns
• Trauma/PTSD

I primarily utilize Person-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when working with clients, but not every person is the same. To address a client’s specific needs and concerns, I approach each individual in a diverse counseling capacity so that we may adjust which techniques would work best with each client.

I am excited to be accepting new clients at this time and look forward to working with you!
