I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, coping with grief, coping with loss, & depression.

I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I work with clients of all ages and ethnicities that may be experiencing different stressors such as relationships, family, work, school and others. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
