Hi! and thank you for visiting my profile. I am a licensed therapist committed to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and resilience. My work integrates evidence-based practices with a compassionate, client-centered approach. I specialize in helping clients manage anxiety, OCD, depression, life transitions, heal from trauma, and build stronger relationships—with others and with themselves. I tailor therapy to meet your unique needs and goals. At the core of my practice is the belief that lasting change comes from both insight and action.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During our first session, I will conduct a biopsychosocial assessment. This assessment covers things like your current concerns, your mental health history, family background, relationships, stressors, and strengths. The goal is to get a full picture of who you are—not just the symptoms—so I can support you in the most helpful and personalized way.”

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

As a therapist, my greatest strengths lie in my ability to create a space where clients feel both safe and challenged. I combine warmth, empathy, and deep listening with clear, actionable support.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal clients are individuals who have a strong motivation in reaching their treatment goals and living out their lives with meaning and purpose
