I am a licensed mental health counselor with six years of experience who believes that healing begins with connection. My approach is grounded in authenticity and the cultivation of a genuine therapeutic relationship. I enjoy supporting individuals who are navigating life transitions, experiencing emotional overwhelm, or seeking a deeper connection with themselves, others, or their purpose. Whether you’re feeling stuck, burnt out, or simply ready for change. I offer a calm, supportive space where you can slow down, reflect, and reconnect with your inner strengths. My person-centered approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused techniques to support sustainable, meaningful growth. I see therapy not as a process of “fixing,” but as one of deep understanding, alignment, and empowerment. My style is direct but compassionate. The impact I aim to leave is more than symptom relief; it’s about helping you build resilience, clarity, and confidence that lasts beyond our sessions. I hope that you leave each conversation feeling more grounded, more seen, and more capable of creating the life you want.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, you can expect a warm, nonjudgmental space where you’re heard and supported exactly as you are. We’ll take time to explore what brings you to therapy, clarify your goals, and set a foundation of trust. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out. This is your space to explore, reflect, and grow at your own pace.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
One of my greatest strengths as a counselor is my ability to create a safe, authentic, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel truly seen and heard. I prioritize building a genuine connection because I believe healing begins with trust and understanding. My approach blends empathy with insight, helping clients explore their thoughts, emotions, and patterns while feeling supported throughout the process. I am skilled at helping clients navigate complex issues, whether life transitions, identity questions, or existential concerns, by tailoring strategies to each individual’s needs and pace. Another strength lies in my focus on actionable, meaningful results. I help clients clarify their goals, gain self-awareness, and develop practical tools for managing challenges and fostering growth. Rather than providing one-size-fits-all solutions, I partner with clients to uncover their own strengths and build resilience, guiding them toward lasting change and a greater sense of alignment in their lives.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work best with individuals who are ready to meet themselves with honesty and curiosity, even when life feels uncertain or overwhelming. Many of the people I work with are navigating important life transitions, personal struggles, questions of identity, or deeper existential concerns about meaning, purpose, and direction. You may feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure about the path ahead, yet still carry a quiet sense that something in your life is ready to shift. Therapy can be a space to slow down, reflect, and begin making sense of these experiences in a supportive and compassionate environment. My ideal client does not need to have everything figured out. What matters most is a willingness to show up and explore the journey toward growth and change. Together, we can gently examine the patterns, beliefs, and experiences that shape your life, while creating space for new perspectives and possibilities. My role is to walk alongside you with authenticity, care, and respect as you move toward greater clarity, self-understanding, and a life that feels more aligned with who you truly are.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
My experience centers on building genuine therapeutic relationships, fostering client autonomy, and supporting personal growth. I focus on active listening, unconditional positive regard, and congruence to help clients access their inner resources and move toward self-acceptance and positive change.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
My work focuses on helping clients clarify their values and commit to actions aligned with those values. I incorporate mindfulness strategies, cognitive defusion techniques, and values-based interventions to help clients create meaningful change, even in the presence of emotional discomfort.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My CBT approach is focused on increasing self-awareness, reducing distress, and empowering clients to make lasting changes by reshaping the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
