(she/her)
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 14 years of experience providing client-centered, trauma-informed care for adults navigating depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and chronic stress. My approach blends supportive therapy with CBT and solution-focused strategies to help you feel grounded, understood, and empowered. I work at your pace, honoring your lived experiences while helping you build practical tools for emotional balance, resilience, and healing. I hope that each session leaves you feeling grounded, validated, and equipped with something meaningful to carry forward.
The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. I’ll ask about what brings you to therapy, how you’ve been feeling, and what’s been weighing on you — all at a pace that feels comfortable. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood from the very beginning. We’ll talk about what you’re hoping to gain from therapy, whether that’s reducing symptoms of depression or anxiety, managing stress, improving mood, or simply finding more clarity and balance. Together, we’ll begin shaping goals that feel meaningful and achievable for you. We’ll go over the intake forms you completed, clarify any details, and discuss your history, current concerns, and any patterns you’ve noticed. This helps me understand your experiences more fully and ensures we’re starting with a clear picture of your needs.
One of my core strengths is striving to show up as my authentic self — both in life and in the therapy room. I’m not afraid to acknowledge when I’ve misunderstood something or gotten something wrong. I believe repair builds trust, and modeling honesty helps clients feel safe being honest, too. I use supportive therapy, CBT, and brief solution-focused therapy to meet clients at whatever point they are in their journey. Whether someone needs space to process, tools to manage symptoms, or clarity to move forward, I adapt my approach to fit their needs rather than expecting them to fit a rigid structure. I prioritize creating a space where clients feel seen, respected, and in control of their pace. My work is grounded in understanding each person’s lived experience and honoring their autonomy throughout the therapeutic process. Clients often self-report a noticeable decrease in symptoms — including anxiety, depression, stress, and overwhelm — after several individual therapy sessions. I focus on building practical skills, strengthening emotional insight, and supporting clients as they make meaningful, sustainable changes in their lives.
My ideal clients are adults who are feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns they’re ready to change. Many are navigating depression, anxiety, mood instability, chronic stress, or the lingering impact of difficult life experiences. They may be high functioning but exhausted, carrying more than they let others see, or unsure how to break out of cycles that no longer serve them. I work best with individuals who value honesty, collaboration, and a therapeutic relationship built on authenticity. My ideal clients appreciate a space where they can show up exactly as they are — without pressure, judgment, or expectations — and where their pace and lived experiences are respected. They’re open to exploring their thoughts and emotions, learning new coping skills, and making meaningful shifts in how they respond to life’s challenges. Whether someone needs support processing their experiences, wants practical tools to manage symptoms, or is seeking clarity and direction, I meet them where they are using supportive therapy, CBT, and solution-focused strategies. Many of my clients begin to notice a decrease in symptoms after several sessions, along with a growing sense of confidence, stability, and self-connection. My ideal clients are not expected to have everything figured out — they need a willingness to show up, be curious, and take the next step toward healing.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution-focused therapy helps you identify your strengths, clarify your goals, and build on what’s already working. Instead of dwelling solely on problems, we focus on small, achievable steps that move you toward the life you want. This approach is especially helpful when you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed and need a clear, forward-moving path.
Trauma Informed Care
I take a trauma-informed approach to therapy, which means I focus on creating a safe, supportive environment and honoring each client’s lived experiences. We’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, with an emphasis on choice, collaboration, and building skills that support healing and long-term well-being.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT helps you identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to depression, anxiety, stress, and mood instability. Together, we explore the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and develop practical tools you can use in daily life. CBT is structured, collaborative, and effective for creating meaningful, lasting change.
Supportive
I use supportive therapy to create a safe, grounding space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions without judgment. This approach focuses on emotional validation, strengthening existing coping skills, and helping you feel understood and supported. It provides the foundation for deeper work and ensures you can move at a pace that feels comfortable and safe.

I felt comfortable with her. She lets you talk and actually listens. Looking forward to our next conversation.
