Hi, thanks for checking out my page! I know finding a therapist can be a lot of work so I'm happy that you are here. Reach out if you have any questions!

Learn effective strategies & skills, break the cycles you are in, make profound insights, and improve your life and relationships. I will support, challenge, and be direct with you. We'll explore your sense of self, your relationships, personal aspirations, life stressors and more. We’ll uncover your patterns of behavior and create a deeper understanding of who you are and what you value. You may not know what to expect in therapy: I’ll educate you on the process and set the stage so that you can understand how it can support you. My unique combination of master’s degrees supports my skillset of critical thinking, problem-solving, empathy, and emotional intelligence. I value your time, energy, and money and so I cater our sessions to be most productive & supportive for you. I’ll help you expand your level of self-awareness, enrich your relationships, and increase your personal growth. Your investment in therapy is an investment in your potential, a testament to your strength, and an act of self-discovery. I will support you and create a safe space for you to be vulnerable. I appreciate you and promise to respond to your message.
