Holistic, self-driven mental health care

Feeling stuck? At a crossroads in your career, relationship, or emotional life? Even the strongest among us can feel lost, unsure, ambivalent, or unhappy at times. As a licensed mental health therapist, I can help you understand and manage curve-balls that life throws at you, and how to do it successfully. I believe that you have the strength not just to survive, but to truly thrive.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Practicing since 2016, I’ve been successfully working with clients and facilitating their self-growth. If you are feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands, my services aim to introduce clarity and self-motivation. I also teach techniques to better manage the emotional stress of everyday life. 
I work with transition aged youth, adults and seniors in my practice online. These are people who need help with making decisions and accepting self care into their own lives. 
My specialty is working with those that have suffered from childhood trauma, those experiencing anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. My love-positive approach assists my clients with LGBTQIA challenges, and am also gender-transition friendly.
