I extend my gratitude and thank you for taking the time to read my profile! I'm passionate about working with clients who are seeking to find balance and positive growth for their lives. It's difficult to manage all of our struggles alone and my hope is to work with clients who are open to change and wanting to improve their overall view or how to manage a more fulfilled life. I find joy in creating strong therapeutic alliances with my clients and encouraging them on a path of understanding and empowering their own strengths.
My desire to understand emotions and behavior led me down this wonderful career path. My experience spans a wide range of clinical areas, but the majority of my work is focused on abuse, anxiety, depression, body image issues, anger management, grief, and trauma.
I appreciate your inquiry and I'm eager to use such an opportunity to find treatments and tactics most suitable for your mental health.

Most of my work is providing psychotherapy for those who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and/or relationship issues. During a initial session, I inquire with the deep troubles at hand and collaborate with my clients to create a plan for addressing treatment. My clients over time tend to experience a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustain improvement.
