“Together, we can build a safe space that allows you to explore yourself and heal, free of judgment”
Supporting individuals through their most challenging experiences is at the heart of my work. I am passionate about working with individuals who are experiencing grief/loss, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and trauma. I understand how lonely and daunting it can feel to navigate these challenges on your own. I prioritize building rapport and trust with my clients because no one should have to face these struggles alone.
I strongly believe in being present and listening with intention while meeting with clients, as oftentimes people don't feel heard or are misunderstood, and this is a crucial key towards healing.
I incorporate skill building and psycho-education in order to ensure my clients are well equipped with tools and information to better understand their experiences and develop a deeper sense of self while alleviating stress. I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches to meet the unique needs of each of my clients.
