LCPC, LPC

As you begin your journey of healing, my priority is to instill hope and encouragement throughout every step. I desire to build a safe and warm environment where clients can feel understood and empowered. I believe that positive change is possible when clients begin to gain new skills and take risks in their lives. My goal is to create an environment where you can explore difficult emotions, identify patterns of behavior, and make progress towards your goals. It is my top priority to build a trustworthy and meaningful relationship with each of my clients. Through a collaborative approach, I will work to create a balance of both challenge and support to help you gain the confidence and coping skills learned in therapy to increase your wellness and self-awareness.
