Hi, I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with five years of experience supporting people through life’s ups and downs, in hospitals, schools, and private practice. I’m here to help you feel heard, understood, and equipped with tools that actually work for you. My approach is down-to-earth and tailored to your unique needs, with a focus on creating a space where you can explore what’s going on without fear of judgment. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just want to grow, I’m here to walk alongside you.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we’ll start with a quick intro and then talk about what’s been bringing you in, whatever feels most important to you right now. There’s no pressure to share everything at once; we’ll go at your pace. The goal is to get a sense of where you’re at so we can start building a plan that actually fits your needs and goals moving forward.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
One of my biggest strengths is really being able to listen and meet you where you are. I’m flexible in how I work, so we can figure out what approach fits you best—no one-size-fits-all here. I use tools and strategies that are backed by research, but I always keep things down-to-earth and focused on what actually works for you. Most of all, I aim to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and truly heard.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just ready for something to change, I’m here to help you figure things out and move forward. I work best with people who are ready to dig in, even if they’re not quite sure where to start. You don’t have to have it all figured out, I’ll meet you where you are. Together, we’ll talk through the tough stuff, find some clarity, and come up with a plan that feels doable. I’m here to listen, support you, and help you make meaningful, lasting changes at your own pace.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize CBT by helping individuals recognize distorted thinking, develop healthier coping strategies, and gradually change unhelpful behaviors. This method is effective for treating a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, and stress, by empowering clients to take control of their thoughts and actions. CBT is a structured, goal-oriented approach that focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviors.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
In my practice, I create a non-judgmental and supportive environment, allowing clients to explore their feelings and experiences at their own pace. By fostering a trusting therapeutic relationship, I empower individuals to access their own inner resources, promoting self-awareness and personal growth.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I use this approach to help clients stay present, manage stress, and increase self-awareness. By encouraging clients to observe their thoughts and emotions without judgment, I assist them in breaking cycles of negative thinking and fostering a greater sense of calm and balance in their lives.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
In my practice, I guide clients to identify their strengths and past successes, helping them envision their desired future. By focusing on what’s working well and setting clear, achievable goals, I assist clients in building practical steps toward positive change.
