About My Clients

I primarily work with adults who are navigating life transitions and are working towards understanding how to balance their personal needs with everything else going on in their lives. Most of my experience has surrounded crisis intervention and providing therapy to those who are anxious, depressed, or who have experienced life-altering trauma.

My Background and Approach

I prioritize providing a safe, non-judgemental space for my clients to share what they perceive as their “ugliest parts.” My goal is to show you that therapy should not be about learning how to pretend that we have it all together, but instead about embracing the beautiful mess that we are and learning how to accept those parts of ourselves. My calm energy allows clients to be themselves without fear of being judged or criticized so we can work towards creating the life you imagine for yourself.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I was raised Catholic, but have tapped more into my spirituality as I have gotten older. I enjoy art and use art therapy in my sessions when applicable. I am very passionate about serving my community and use my estheticians license to give free services to single mothers who are preparing for job interviews.
