LMHC, 9 years of experience
Welcome! I’m passionate about making therapy a safe space for you to explore your challenges, uncover your strengths and find actionable strategies that work best for you. I take a collaborative, supportive and relatable approach to ensure therapy feels like a comfortable place for you to share your story and grow. I strive to empower you towards self-acceptance, help you manage your emotions effectively and build resilience. I understand that each individual’s journey is unique; therefore, each client’s therapeutic care is tailored to meet them where they are at.
I understand that taking the step of beginning therapy can feel intimidating, so I strive to create a warm, comfortable and relatable space from the very first session. During this session, we will focus on getting to know each other and understanding what brought you to therapy. We'll discuss your background, current challenges and your goals or expectations of what you hope to gain from our time together. We'll also talk about how therapy works and what to expect and I will answer any questions that you have to ensure you feel comfortable about the process. At the end of the first session, we'll collaborate to begin determining a plan for going forward.
I have worked in the counseling field for almost a decade and have experience working in both clinical and school-based settings. I have worked extensively with children, teens and adults. I aim to create a space where you feel safe and supported to explore and process through your emotions at a pace that feels most comfortable for you. I focus on helping clients achieve progress by identifying clear goals and creating actionable steps to equip you with tools and strategies that you can use in your everyday life and to help you create meaningful change.
I help my clients navigate their challenges through a blend of evidence-based therapy and compassionate support. I specialize in anxiety, depression, difficult life transitions, executive functioning and attention problems, school issues and perfectionism, but welcome clients of all ages and stages.
CBT is a goal-oriented and collaborative approach that can help you to understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

SFBT is an approach that empowers you with the confidence and ability to take action in the face of challenges.
