About My Clients
My experience includes working primarily with children, adolescents, and young adults with various mental health issues. As a therapist, I establish a safe place for individuals to express themselves, grow, and become better equipped to face anything that comes their way. To me, the client-therapist relationship is based upon presence, empathy, and support.

My approach to therapy is solution focused and strength based. I strive to meet my client where they are at and develop a treatment plan that caters specific to their needs.
