Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Last Updated 14 days ago

Cultural sensitivity is important to me, as I strive to ensure that all my clients feel heard, seen, and respected—this is the foundation of our work together. I offer a non-judgmental space where you can freely express your thoughts and emotions. I believe in building a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust and mutual understanding, and I’m dedicated to supporting you as you navigate life’s challenges with compassion and confidence. I draw on the tools I’ve learned throughout my career and tailor my approach to your needs. Together, we will explore what works best for you.

I am a therapist at Octave, a behavioral health practice creating a new standard for mental health care that’s both high-quality and accessible. To learn more about my availability, please reach out to our Client Experience team by emailing or calling.
