As a licensed therapist with extensive experience across a range of therapeutic areas, I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental approach in every session. Holding a Dual Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy, I bring a deep understanding of the complexities of both individual and relational dynamics. I work with both teens and adults, helping them navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. I am deeply passionate about creating a safe, supportive environment where you can freely explore your thoughts and emotions. My goal is to empower you to gain insight, develop coping strategies, and ultimately lead a more fulfilling, balanced life.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first sessions together, we’ll discuss what brings you to therapy and collaboratively identify specific goals you want to achieve.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have many years of educational and professional experience and have developed the ability to cultivate a positive, collaborative therapeutic environment that fosters growth and healing. I prioritize creating a safe, welcoming space where clients feel truly understood, supported, and empowered. My optimistic approach encourages clients to envision a hopeful future, helping them stay motivated through the challenges they face. I am committed to tailoring my techniques to meet the unique needs of each individual, ensuring that our work together is both personalized and effective. Clear, compassionate communication is central to my approach, allowing for a therapeutic process that is not only impactful but also uplifting for clients seeking meaningful change.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I am deeply passionate about working with young clients who are navigating anxiety or depression, often stemming from school stress, social pressures, or complex family dynamics. It’s incredibly rewarding to support them in building resilience and developing healthy coping mechanisms to manage these challenges. Additionally, I find great fulfillment in working with families facing conflict, whether it's rooted in communication issues, behavioral challenges in children, or major life transitions such as divorce. My approach focuses on fostering understanding, improving communication, and helping families find constructive solutions to strengthen their relationships and create a more harmonious environment
