Throughout the past six years, I have developed a practice dedicated to assisting people from all different backgrounds to develop the tools needed to help them in a variety of situations. My goal is to assist you with learning and implementing a variety of tools that you can use at any time. the client is the expert of themselves. I am here to be a companion on your journey to better understand yourself and become a master of meeting your own needs. Since I began in this field, I have worked with people in all stages of life. I have the most experience assisting 13-40 year olds navigate their depression, anxiety, trauma, and daily life stressors. I have attended various trauma informed trainings and have gained an understanding of techniques such as CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing. With these skills, I intend to help all clients reach their individual goals.

I believe that every person has the capacity for growth and change at any time in their lives. I believe that as people, we are deserving of unconditional love and support, as we navigate both the high and the lows. As part of the human experience, we learn a variety of helpful, and at times harmful, ways of dealing with life. By this very nature, I also feel that we are all capable of learning new ways to approach these situations that allow you to thrive. Throughout my own life, I have struggled with depression and anxiety as well. Through my personal experiences in therapy, I have learned various ways of navigating my own concerns that has allowed me to feel free from the control of my moods and past experiences. My goal is to assist you with gaining this same type of freedom. Please feel free to outreach if you would like more information on how I can help.
