Message to clients

When you are struggling with current or past difficulties, challenges, and overwhelming feelings, you deserve to have a space that is kind, caring, and non-judgmental. I know that the best environment for therapy is one that is safe and supportive of each person to grow into their unique potential. By using evidence-based practices and creating clear goals, I provide an effective therapeutic space to help each person learn healthy coping strategies, build self-awareness, and grow the confidence they need to feel better in all aspects of their lives.
