Pronouns: She/Her/Hers
A warm welcome to you. I believe that offering ourselves grace can bring life-altering hopefulness. Achieving increased self-awareness helps us to make sense of our thoughts and feelings. That self-awareness gives us invaluable knowledge of how to move forward. All humans crave and thrive through deep connections. Let’s work together to discover and accentuate all your strengths.
Therapy Practice
I am an emerging professional mental health counselor utilizing Person-Centered, Gestalt, Cognitive Behavioral, and Family Systems Theories. The healing begins as we share safe-space in sessions. You will be seen and heard, and together we will explore what is blocking you from living your best life. I believe that you have the answers inside you.
