“I’m passionate about the work I feel called to do. I hope to be a light in my clients’ lives and help them see the light inside themselves. As a therapist, I create a warm, accepting space for my clients to process past experiences and trauma, become empowered, increase emotional intelligence, and help them align with their true selves. Together we will laugh, cry, and have corrective emotional experiences to reinforce your healing. It is never too late or too early to take the steps towards becoming the best version of yourself. In my work, I hope to help my clients have a better understanding of who they are and love themselves unconditionally.”
