I aim to empower clients by fostering self-worth, confidence, and motivation through a person-centered, collaborative approach. 

Here's a quote that I love and believe captures the way I believe change and healing take place:"The healing process is mainly based on the combination of words that allow the sharing of values, beliefs, feelings, and perceptions between two or more people." - Michela Rimondin, (2011).

Are we a good match?

Embarking on the path of healing and recovery is a courageous step. As a counselor deeply committed to supporting individuals through substance use and addiction challenges, I offer a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your journey toward recovery.

In my work with children and teenagers, I've cultivated a nurturing and supportive space where young individuals can freely explore their feelings and confront life's challenges. My caring and understanding approach fosters an environment where they feel heard and supported.

​

I specialize in assisting children and teenagers in coping with a range of issues such as developmental trauma, anxiety, depression, behavioral concerns, peer relationships, and identity exploration. Through specialized training in developmental trauma, I've gained the tools to help children process past experiences and navigate difficult behaviors, fostering emotional growth and regulation. My goal is to empower young minds, providing personalized strategies to help them build resilience, confidence, and a strong sense of self-worth as they navigate life's complexities.

Furthermore, my certification as a doula has fueled my interest in supporting womxn through the postpartum and prenatal periods, assisting them in navigating mental health challenges and life transitions.

​

My journey into mental health counseling stems from my innate ability to create safe and comfortable spaces during challenging times. My empathetic and non-judgmental approach laid the foundation for my transition into therapy, fueled by a deep-seated desire to spread love and support.

​

Equipped with various therapeutic techniques, I aim to support personal growth and healing by adapting these methods to individual needs:

• Motivational Interviewing
