Mental Health Counseling

  The quest for wholeness can never begin on the external level, it is ALWAYS an inside job.”

~ Dr. Shefali 

As a licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Life Coach, I offer a powerful blend of empathy, education, and insight in therapy. I provide a comfortable space to pause, reflect and develop strategies for life's challenges. 

I use a proactive, solution-focused, strength-based approach to guide you towards personal growth and meaningful change, bridging the gap between who you think you should be and who you are meant to be. I'm genuinely excited to provide the support and guidance you need towards peace, clarity, and well-being, something you truly deserve.

You're ready! Taking the next step might feel a bit more challenging, but it's one you'll look back on with pride and gratitude. Reach out via message, text, or email, and I'll respond promptly. I look forward to helping you create the life you truly deserve!

My favorite quote

Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of these things and still be calm in your heart.
