I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) dedicated to helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges with clarity and confidence. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and solution-focused approaches to support clients in developing practical strategies for growth and healing. My goal is to create a collaborative and supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes.
In our first session, we will take the time to explore what brings you to therapy, your background, and your goals for our work together. I will ask open-ended questions to understand your experiences and help us develop a plan tailored to your needs. My goal is to ensure you feel comfortable, validated, and equipped with a sense of direction by the end of our session.
My greatest strengths lie in my ability to balance warmth with directness, provide structured yet flexible guidance, and offer actionable tools that promote real change. I am an active listener who helps clients feel safe and understood while also challenging limiting beliefs and encouraging growth. I integrate mindfulness, cognitive restructuring, and solution-focused strategies to help clients develop resilience and confidence in their ability to navigate life’s ups and downs.
I work best with adults and couples who are navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, life transitions, and self-worth concerns. My approach is particularly effective for individuals seeking structured, goal-oriented therapy with practical tools they can apply in everyday life. I also support professionals balancing high demands, people experiencing family or relational conflicts, and those ready to challenge unhelpful thought patterns.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that impact their emotional well-being. My approach is collaborative and solution-focused, meaning we work together to identify challenges, set realistic goals, and develop practical tools to manage stress, anxiety, depression, and other life challenges. During sessions, I help clients: Identify Negative Thought Patterns: Together, we explore automatic thoughts that contribute to distress and learn ways to challenge and reframe them. Develop Coping Strategies: I introduce evidence-based techniques like cognitive restructuring, behavioral activation, and mindfulness to build resilience. Practice Real-Life Application: I often assign personalized exercises and reflection prompts to reinforce what we discuss in therapy and help clients apply new skills in their daily lives. Track Progress and Adjust as Needed: Therapy is a dynamic process, so I regularly check in on progress and tailor interventions to meet each client’s evolving needs. I believe that awareness + action = change, and my goal is to empower clients with the tools they need to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and clarity.
