Working With Me
What Empower means to me: Finding the belief and confidence in yourself to reach your full potential. It’s about shifting your mindset to one of inner strength and taking control of your own destiny.
My Philosophy: We are all more resilient than we give ourselves credit for. Learning to trust ourselves and our capabilities is extremely powerful. Audrey Hepburn famously said, “Dream big, nothing is impossible the word itself says ‘I’m Possible’!”
What sessions with me look like: We will collaborate to help you reach your goals. Our sessions will be a place for you to vent so that you are not bottling things up inside. It will be a space for you to reflect and share any updates related to your life situation, thought process/mindset, and goals. We will use that information to create a plan that is concrete, actionable, and manageable. The overall goal is for you to learn skills to help you manage your emotions, take control of your behaviors, shift your mindset into one that is better suited for you to build a life you love.
Our tagline is think different, worry less, feel better. That captures the essence of therapy. What we work on will help you get there and that is the key to living the satisfied, meaningful, happy life you are searching for.

More About Me
I became a therapist because I find the human mind fascinating. Learning more about human nature and why we do what we do excites me.
I love hearing people’s stories and exploring what makes a person who they are.
When I took my first psychology class in high school, I finally enjoyed school for the first time. Learning how I can take this knowledge to help others improve their quality of life and find a more positive mental health solidified that this is the right career path for me.
I am very passionate about my work, and I truly care for the clients I work with.
This isn’t just a job for me, it is my passion. I look forward to hearing from you!
