"At times we all need someone who will listen without judgement and help us process the many challenges we face. I was drawn to the field of counseling through my love for helping those who are struggling with these challenges."

Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?

I decided to become a counselor because I enjoy helping others find solutions to their problems and supporting them through the challenges they are facing.

What types of clients do you work best with?

I work best with clients who are curious about their own patterns and ready to actively reflect between sessions. They might feel stuck in anxiety or life transitions, but they bring a willingness to try new coping tools and examine their thoughts honestly.

What can clients expect in their first session with you and in the early stages of therapy?

We will talk about what brings you in and what you hope to gain, moving at a pace that feels safe for you. Early meetings focus on understanding patterns, developing initial coping strategies, and identifying the best approaches for your specific situation.
