Message to clients

Why am I a therapist? That’s a long story lol! Short version – I believe that people have the greatest need to be heard, validated and to find a sense of purpose / belonging in life. One of the people who listened to me growing up, one I felt heard me the most was my childhood counselor. There were many things that I grabbed onto growing up to help me through any adversity I faced but that counselor helped me to see that there was something a lot greater in life than some of the experiences that I endured. This is all I can hope to provide to others when I counsel them. Just a sense of hope. Something that they can grab onto, that carries them much further than the room we sit in together.

I enjoy working with those who have any issues or struggles with depression/sadness, anxiety/worry, low self-esteem, and anger. I work with all ages, but I particularly enjoy working with young adults (15-24) although my after-school appointment times are in high demand.
