I entered the mental health field out of a genuine desire to support and help others. I truly enjoy guiding clients through periods of growth while creating a safe and comfortable space for them to explore their thoughts and feelings. My goal is to help clients build the skills and confidence they need to navigate life on their own, while knowing they are always supported along the way.

I work best with clients who are open to the therapeutic process and willing to engage in growth. As long as you are open to the journey, I am excited to work with and support you. I specialize in working with children and adolescents, but I also have experience supporting adults in older adulthood.

Therapy is a journey, and it’s normal to experience both highs and lows along the way. It’s important to approach these moments without self-blame, recognizing that growth often comes with challenges. While we work together to build skills and increase awareness, there may still be difficult times, which are a completely normal part of the process.

In the beginning, the main focus will be on getting to know you and what brings you into therapy. This may include background information, current habits and skills, and what your expectations or goals you have for your therapeutic process.

Some of my personal experiences include being an athlete and navigating challenges with self-esteem and self-worth. I have also worked through interpersonal challenges and experienced the loss of loved ones, which required reflection and personal growth. These experiences have helped shape my understanding and empathy as a therapist.

I focus on what each client communicates as their needs and goals. I encourage clients to be actively involved in the therapeutic process, collaborating to identify goals that feel meaningful and beneficial. I bring knowledge from my years of training and experience, using evidence-based resources to support growth and a deeper understanding of each client’s unique needs.
