High satisfaction rate with clients

Clients report a lasting relationship

Nice to meet you

I like to create an inviting and safe environment for clients to be authentic and comfortable sharing openly, without fear of judgment. I have experience working mainly with women involving a variety of issues. I provide support in helping clients with postpartum depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem, and so forth. Taking the first step to seek a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage and I am here to support clients in that process. Together, the client and I will use a modality that speaks to their strengths and fits the client’s goals. I want therapy to be individualized and unique to the person. I believe the therapeutic process is a journey requiring patience, vulnerability, and commitment. I am here to co-partner with clients as they dig deep, learn, and grow toward a life they are truly happy about.
