LPC, 4 years of experience
Hi, I’m a licensed professional counselor with over four years of experience supporting adults through life’s most overwhelming and uncertain moments. Whether you’re feeling stuck in anxiety or depression; struggling with unresolved trauma; navigating grief; or facing challenges related to ADHD, low self-worth, or major life changes, know that you don’t have to face it alone. I believe therapy should be more than just a space to talk: it should be a space to grow. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs. You are the expert in your life, and I’m here to help you reconnect with your inner strengths, uncover patterns that no longer serve you, and move toward healing at a pace that feels right for you. With over four years in the field, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals as they’ve moved through deep pain and into lasting change. I offer a safe, affirming, and nonjudgmental space where you can show up just as you are. Together, we’ll work toward goals that are meaningful to you; whether that’s building healthier coping skills, understanding your story, or creating more balance and connection in your life. My style is warm, engaged, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I view therapy as a partnership rooted in trust, honesty, and hope. Healing looks different for everyone; and whatever you're carrying, you don't have to carry it alone. If you're ready to begin your journey, I’m here to walk beside you. Let’s take that first step together.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will give us a foundation to work on creating a personalized plan together, based on your goals, to guide our follow-up sessions.
I’m here to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel truly heard and understood. Building trust and openness is really important to me because it helps us work together effectively. I take a collaborative approach, meaning we’ll tailor your treatment to fit your unique needs and challenges. With empathy, active listening, and problem-solving, I’ll support you as you explore your thoughts and feelings, while helping you develop practical strategies to cope and grow. I’m also committed to continuously learning and adapting so I can best support you on your journey.
I love to work with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or the challenges that come with life transitions and complex emotions. My clients often feel overwhelmed or stuck and are looking for more than just temporary relief, they want to understand the deeper causes of their struggles and develop lasting tools to move forward. I provide a compassionate, tailored approach that meets them where they are and helps them build confidence and resilience at their own pace.

I was looking for a therapist to help me with extreme fear after a car accident. She listened to all my concerns and asked great questions to help me begin to start fighting this fear. I'm looking forward to our next session.
I’ve been using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my practice and have seen it make a significant difference in helping clients manage anxiety, depression, stress, and the effects of trauma. CBT is an effective, evidence-based approach that focuses on the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Throughout our sessions, we’ll work together to identify negative thought patterns that may be contributing to your challenges. We’ll explore how these thoughts influence your feelings and behaviors, including those shaped by past traumatic experiences. From there, we’ll develop strategies to reframe and shift those patterns in ways that support healing. The goal is to help you gain a clearer perspective, reduce distress, and foster healthier coping mechanisms, allowing you to lead a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Trauma informed care is a fundamental part of how I support clients in my work. I prioritize creating a healing environment that feels safe and respectful, tailored to each person’s unique needs. Trauma can affect many aspects of your life, and I understand that healing takes time and patience. Together, we’ll explore how your experiences—whether from the past or present—impact your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Using a collaborative approach, we’ll develop strategies at your own pace to build resilience and healthy coping skills. My goal is to empower you to regain a sense of safety and control as we move forward on your healing journey.
Psychodynamic therapy is a key approach I use to help clients explore the deeper causes of their feelings and behaviors. This therapy explores how past experiences, unconscious thoughts, and unresolved conflicts influence your present behaviors and relationships. Together, we’ll uncover and understand patterns that may have developed over time, shedding light on how they’re impacting your current emotional well-being. By gaining insight into these unconscious dynamics, you’ll be able to understand and address the root causes of anxiety, depression, or trauma-related challenges. The goal is to foster deeper self-awareness and help you make lasting, meaningful changes by uncovering and processing these underlying patterns.
In my work, I rely on the person-centered approach to create a supportive environment where clients can explore and grow. This approach emphasizes creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings freely. We’ll work together to deepen your understanding of yourself and your experiences. The focus will be on you as the expert of your own life, with the therapist offering empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness. Through this collaborative relationship, you’ll gain clarity and confidence, leading to greater self-acceptance, emotional healing, and the ability to make meaningful changes in your life.
I integrate psychoeducation into my practice because it helps clients develop a clearer understanding of their mental health and overall wellbeing. Psychoeducation involves providing you with information about the psychological, emotional, and behavioral aspects of your challenges. Together, we’ll explore the underlying factors contributing to your struggles, whether it’s stress, anxiety, or other concerns. By gaining a clearer understanding of how your mind and body work, you’ll feel empowered to make informed decisions and take an active role in your healing process. The goal is to help you develop practical skills and strategies that enhance your mental health and create long-lasting positive changes in your life.
