I have been providing therapy services for 6 years to children/adolescents/young adults for concerns including, but not limited to, depression, anxiety, ADHD and trauma.

My counseling style is client centered, warm, and interactive. I believe clients are the experts in their own lives. I treat each client with respect, dignity, compassion, and sensitivity.

It takes courage and strength to reach out and ask for help. I am here to empower and support you as you take the first step towards change.

I am looking forward to working with you!
