Great to meet you!

A person I work well with is a stressed-out Millennial who is feeling burnt out, worried, and starting to lose hope. To me, it's fulfilling to work with motivated people; people who are motivated to make changes by gaining insight, learning new tools, and implementing demanding, but rewarding strategies. By challenging yourself to start counseling, you are proving to yourself that you're ready for change, and for that reason, I want to work with you.

A bit about my approach to therapy

As a counselor, I want you to feel comfortable and confident in our sessions. I value authenticity, and that’s how I plan to show up. We are two humans working together for something great. No matter what, I want you to feel like your session is pulling you towards wellness every single time. That’s my job, and that’s how I want to be present, always.

What you can expect from our first session

I believe real change comes from getting to know the real you. The real you has so many strengths, and it’s important to own them and use them to your benefit. Engage with the talk therapy process to find balance between acceptance and change, which can take place when you combine your strengths with self-awareness, learned skills, and new motivation. Let’s get to know the real YOU so you can challenge the real you every day with confidence
