I believe all people inherently possess the capacity to make life- enriching, meaningful change. Sometimes, we just need extra support to sort through all that life might throw at us in order to make those changes. I provide clients with a safe, understanding, and nonjudgmental environment. Together, we will work to identify barriers, address challenges and implement plans to make meaningful change: to start connecting, managing, and truly living.

I truly believe that a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust is the key to strengthening resilience and facilitating growth. You no longer have to do this alone. It will be my privilege to walk along side you; to explore opportunities to address challenges and achieve goals. I offer a complimentary 15 minute consultation to discuss how we can move forward together.

Hello! I'm the sole therapist of my practice, Dahlia Wellness LLC, founded around the belief that true healing and change requires an environment where one is witnessed non-judgmentally for who they really are. I have extensive experience working with individuals who struggle with low self worth, loss of hope, feelings of anxiety, depression, and the short and long impact of traumatic relationships or experiences. I work with individuals who are struggling with self harm or suicidal ideation, and I am affirming of all gender/sexual identifications and expressions.
