I specialize in helping individuals feel grounded, confident and less overwhelmed. Therapy with me focuses on reducing anxiety and depression, healing trauma patterns, strengthening self-trust, and improving communication, boundaries, and relationships so you can move out of survival mode and into a life that feels steady, aligned. This is a compassionate space for real change. My path into therapy began with a truth I’ve witnessed repeatedly—people can grow through even the most difficult seasons. Working across diverse mental health settings revealed the resilience individuals carry, even when they feel uncertain or stuck. Those experiences shaped my grounded, practical approach. I believe healing begins when you feel truly seen and supported. In private practice, I help clients work through anxiety, depression, self-doubt, trauma, and relationship challenges. Together, we slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and create changes that feel steady and sustainable. My goal is to help you feel balanced, confident, and deeply connected to yourself and others. You don’t need the perfect words or a clear plan to begin therapy. Just show up as you are—I’ll meet you there. My style is warm, collaborative, and straightforward. I listen carefully, ask meaningful questions, and offer practical tools to help you understand your patterns and respond with intention. I value authenticity over formality and bring honesty—and at times humor—when it serves the work. Together, we’ll focus on what matters most, creating small, meaningful shifts that build lasting change. You’ll have space to reflect, practice new skills, and feel consistently supported. My hope is that you leave each session feeling clearer, lighter, and equipped with tools you can use immediately.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we’ll start by getting to know you—your history, what brings you to therapy, and what you’re hoping to gain from it. I’ll ask questions to understand your background, current challenges, and the patterns or beliefs that may be shaping your experience. This helps us build a clear picture of where you are and where you’d like to go. As we continue working together, sessions are collaborative and insight-oriented. You can expect a balance of warmth, directness, and curiosity. We’ll look at the deeper “why” behind your emotions and behaviors while developing tools to help you navigate life with more clarity, confidence, and self-trust. Over time, therapy becomes a space for reflection, healing, and practical change—where you can learn to show up differently for yourself and in your relationships.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strengths as a counselor lie in my compassionate, holistic approach and my deep commitment to supporting clients through their unique challenges. With over 10 years of experience, I have developed the ability to truly connect with individuals, creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where they feel heard and understood. My background in various counseling settings has equipped me with the versatility to address a wide range of issues, from chronic mental health conditions to relationship struggles and trauma. I believe in a collaborative approach, where the client’s input is always valued in the healing process. I focus on long-term growth and resilience, helping clients uncover the roots of their struggles and guiding them toward lasting change. My goal is to empower clients to move forward with confidence, peace, and renewed hope for their future.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I’m best positioned to help adults who feel emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in painful relational patterns, or disconnected from their sense of self. Many of my clients are high-functioning but internally exhausted — carrying the weight of anxious/avoidant attachment, people-pleasing, low self-worth, or unresolved family dynamics. They often describe themselves as the “strong one,” the caregiver, or the peacekeeper in their relationships, yet feel unseen or unsupported when it comes to their own needs. I work especially well with individuals who are introspective, sensitive, and ready to explore what’s beneath the surface. My clients are often navigating major transitions — such as relationship changes, career shifts, or healing from past trauma — and want a space where they can be deeply heard, not just “fixed.” They’re seeking tools to regulate emotions, clarify boundaries, and create relationships that feel mutual and safe. Many also come to me after trying to “push through” their struggles on their own for years. If you’ve been surviving on self-blame, over-functioning, or emotional shutdown, I can help you reconnect to your inner world with curiosity instead of criticism. Together, we’ll create space for healing, insight, and lasting change grounded in your values and emotional truth.
Integrative
Integrative Therapy combines techniques from different counseling approaches to create a personalized treatment that fits your unique needs, goals and personality. Instead of a one-size-fits-all method, it blends the most effective tools from various theories to support your healing, growth, and self-understanding.
Interpersonal
Interpersonal therapy focuses on how your relationships and communication patterns affect your mood and overall well-being. The goal is to help you better understand yourself in relation to others, improve how you connect with people, and build healthier, more supportive relationships.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Person-centered therapy, also known as Rogerian therapy, helps clients by providing a nonjudgmental, empathetic, and supportive environment where they can explore their thoughts and feelings freely. This approach emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for growth, empowering clients to access their own inner resources and develop greater self-awareness, self-acceptance, and emotional resilience. It is particularly helpful for individuals struggling with low self-esteem, identity issues, or emotional distress, as it fosters a sense of safety, validation, and autonomy.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
The goal of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is to help individuals develop skills to manage intense emotions, reduce self-destructive behaviors, and improve relationships. Originally designed for people with borderline personality disorder, DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness and acceptance strategies. It aims to create a balance between acceptance and change, enabling individuals to build a life worth living by increasing emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness.
Attachment-based
Attachment-based therapy focuses on understanding how early relationship experiences shape the way you connect, communicate, and cope in relationships today. The goal is to identify patterns such as fear of abandonment, avoidance, people-pleasing, or emotional shutdown and gradually build a more secure way of relating—to others and to yourself. Through exploring past dynamics and current relational triggers, clients learn to regulate emotional responses, express needs clearly, set healthier boundaries, and feel safer in connection. Over time, this work helps reduce anxiety and relational conflict while increasing confidence, stability, and emotional security.
