My interests and areas of specialty are but are not limited to working with adults and young adults on issues of anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, career stress, burnout, self-esteem, and personal growth. I am a Strength-Based therapist that works to empower my clients. I provide clients with a safe, non-judgmental space where they can more deeply examine their inner feelings and find ways to overcome life's challenges. I hope to help you along your journey of self-discovery and to always provide you with a place where you can feel heard and understood.
