As a licensed mental health counselor, the foundation of my therapeutic approach is person-centered and tailored to fit the needs of each individual.

Ultimately, I aim to support and facilitate an individual’s ability to develop a deeper connection and understanding of themselves, their environment, and the influencing context in which they grew up in.

Together, we can work towards understanding the emotional patterns that emerge and work towards developing healthier connections with ourselves and others.
