Welcome! I am a licensed counselor. I am here to help you through every step of the way; beginning wherever you are; whatever you are struggling with. My goals as your therapist are to support you; to be with you in your process; and to help you discover your best self. Feelings of anxiety or sadness may come up; but we will work on removing those obstacles so you can begin developing steps to achieve your goals. I work with compassion; sincerity and non-judgement; and will provide a nurturing environment where you can talk freely. I am excited to get to know you and begin this journey with you.
