Shifting Your Personal Narrative and Building Resilience

I am passionate about helping others and supporting clients as they discover the power they have within themselves. It is an honor to hear a client’s story and work with them to find inner peace, confidence in themselves, and a sense of balance in the world. Being able to find joy in your life is vital to making it through. Having someone to support you through anything and help you to realize the strength you hold within yourself can mean so much. 

 My counseling practice works with each individual to help them build on their strengths and to attain the personal growth they are seeking. This is accomplished by adhering to my central values: compassion, empathy, and courage. I work with teens, emerging adults, adults, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds who experience a wide range of anxiety and depressive disorders. My area of expertise include treating anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. 

My practice provides a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic space to share your unique story and gain a greater sense of hope for a more enjoyable and gratifying life.
