How I Can Help:
I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental, and therapeutic environment, where you can be comfortable being yourself and sharing your story. I am interested in getting to know you and helping you achieve your goals—whether it be in regards to learning specific coping strategies to effectively navigate the college experience or beginning your healing journey by processing past traumatic experiences. I am here to assist you in implementing positive change in your life by helping you better understand your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.
I have worked in a variety of health settings ranging from community mental health to college counseling, private, state, and federal hospitals. My diverse training and experience have reinforced the importance of taking a holistic approach to therapy and exploring how different aspects of life (e.g., relationships, work, physical health, etc.) may be affecting your overall wellbeing. As such, I work collaboratively with you to develop a treatment plan that meets your specific needs and goals.
