Professional statement

Are you confused and do not know what your next steps are? Do you look in the mirror and no longer recognize the face staring back at you? If so, just know that this is the first step to a new start and I look forward to us working together to assist you in finding the balance. I have a love for people who are in the unknown and stuck points. People who are uncertain of themselves or their identity. Individuals that need to feel empowered and healed. Ones who have learned to operate on autopilot in the outside world only due to avoiding healing the inside world. If this sounds like you, reach out so we can unpack it together.


Message to clients

During our sessions, we will develop a collaborative relationship where we work on any presiding issues that you have. This will allow you to really dig deep within yourself to gain a better understanding of your self-awareness. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to be your most authentic self. My therapeutic style isn’t your textbook therapist. I aim to provide some light through relatability, experience and knowledge, while we take a close look at how we can rewrite your story.

I tend use a lot of solution and behavior focused interventions, while still meeting you where you are. My therapeutic approach is eclectic, with a focus on the mind-body connection through a holistic lens. Together, we will establish the best goals for your treatment, develop a plan for achieving these goals, and work closely to ensure these goals are achieved. I will combine my personal and professional experiences to get you to a place of whole healing. Together, we will find a balance and your truest self.
