Nice to meet you
I empathize with those who have experienced difficulties that come with life's challenges, from navigating loss, change, identity, and relationships. I understand it can be difficult to take the first step in getting help and want to make sure I provide comfort, a safe space, and guidance utilizing an eclectic variety of approaches in my therapy sessions. With over 8 years of experience, working in private practice and outpatient/inpatient programs, I feel confident I can be your guide as you navigate life's challenges. I look forward to working with you!
