I chose to become a counselor because I do not believe we were meant to live life in isolation. Community is so important and often when we experience challenges we may isolate and cut ourselves off from the very support system we may need. My hope is to remind others, as I have often been reminded, that you are not alone and utilizing your support network, such as your community and therapy, can help you access the support and strength you need to get through challenges.

I have worked with women and men of varying ages and backgrounds. I am particularly passionate about working with women of color.

The bravest thing we can do is to not just recognize we need support but to actively seek it out. In looking to start your therapy journey you have already done something incredibly challenging. If you can do that, just imagine what else you are capable of.

Therapy is a conversation. It is a space for you to share about your experiences as well identify goals you would like to work towards. As it progresses it is a space where you can be honest and be challenged in a supportive environment as we work towards the agreed upon goals.

I value kindness. A kind person is someone who is intentional in not just what they say but how they say it. A kind person can say hard things and challenge someone from a place of care and concern without judgement. That is how I strive to show up as a counselor.

I recognize that every client brings their own unique experiences, goals, values and strengths. I take the time to better understand my clients and collaboratively work with them to create a treatment plan tailored to best fit their needs and achieve their goals.
