There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you. ~Maya Angelou Too often we walk through life fearful of telling our real story. But when we tell our story we free ourselves from unhealed wounds. Telling our story helps us to find our strength and recognize our resiliency through difficult times. Emotional well-being is one of the most important parts of an individual’s life. Unfortunately it is a part of life that we often forget to take care of. We all deserve to enjoy the lives we live. You are worthy of a life you can enjoy!
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with experience working with adults, children, families and couples. I utilize an integrative approach with clients, framing therapy based on an individual’s needs at that time. My specialties include anxiety, depression, substance- use, trauma and transitional life periods.
As a clinician, I understand that attending therapy can be a difficult step, so I emphasize the therapeutic relationship- aiming to create a safe and supportive space for all.

I recognize that every individual is different, and with meeting with me, I will work collaboratively to help to foster the best environment for self-growth.

I consider therapy a partnership. I believe we all have the strength to get to any point of life that we desire, and by working with one another, it’s all attainable. Some may seek support to shift habits as well as guidance towards a fresh start. Whatever your reason is, the common thread here is bravery. My goal as a therapist is to assist clients in setting goals, creating pathways to achieve said goals, and preparing for life’s unknowns. I look forward to our partnership!
