I work primarily with young adults and adults experiencing stress, anxiety, and trauma, as well as issues relating to identity and self-esteem.

I will work hard to make sure you wholeheartedly believe that your mental health diagnosis does not have to define who you are!...

Often times, college students wrestle with anxiety as they can feel pressure both internally as well as from the outside. Ou...
Clients come to counseling for various reasons.

Their friends and family could be great support but couldn’t necessarily offer professional help such as treatment. Some people, including myself, may struggle with things they cannot express clearly. Some may be just confused about life and need some coaching from the counselors. I believe clie...
My goal is to offer clients a space to process feelings and concerns and an opportunity to be (gently) challenged in an effort to grow. Clients who seek my support often express a genuine longing to understand themselves on a deeper level and examine the unconscious patterns influencing their self-perception, relationships, and professional life. I enjoy working with adults and young adults seeking help with anxiety, depression, and trauma-related concerns....
