Accepting clients
Updated 30+ days ago

I have experience working with a wide range of people and concerns throughout my time in mental health.

I have worked in mental health for over 10 years, and have been a resident in Counseling for the last 2 of those years. I think therapy works best when we view it as a chance to be compassionate and curious about ourselves. It's an opportunity to explore the "why" of the aspects of ourselves that make us unhappy or anxious and allows us to be more confident in moving forward in our lives. This can only happen in a safe and calm space, which is what I aim to provide each Client who chooses to see me.
