Counselor, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
We help our clients navigate through life changes without sacrificing their mental health!
I am a LGBTQ+ affirming therapist who has experience in working with all gender identities across this spectrum. If you are experiencing challenges with substance abuse, anxiety, depression, stress, mood disorders, or need a helping hand with life difficulties, I am here to help. I strive to provide a relaxed and comfortable environment that promotes trust and healing. I am dedicated to walking with you every step of the way on your journey to wholeness. My therapeutic approach is eclectic and tailored to the needs of the individual. I utilize CBT, Strengths-Based, DBT, and Solutions Focused approaches to provide practical strategies, behavioral change, and personal growth. It does not matter who you are or what you have been through, you can recover!
