I have been working in the counseling field since 2018 and bring a calm, supportive, and client-centered approach to every session. I am known for being friendly, empathetic, and an attentive listener, and I strive to create a safe, respectful space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. I hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and have experience working with a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, depression, anxiety, trauma, anger management, family-related issues, self-esteem challenges, and grief. My clinical background includes working with children, adolescents, and adults, with experience serving clients ages six and older. While I am comfortable working with younger children, I primarily work with adolescents and adults ages 12 and up. I tailor my counseling approach to meet each client’s unique needs, strengths, and goals, recognizing that no two individuals or situations are the same. I believe in collaborating with clients to help them develop insight, coping skills, and confidence as they work toward meaningful and lasting change. My goal as a counselor is to walk alongside clients as they navigate life’s challenges, offering guidance, understanding, and practical support while empowering them to grow at their own pace.
