Accepting new clients! I’m a licensed mental health counselor and practice owner who works with children, teens, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, and difficult life transitions. I work best with clients who are ready to invest in themselves and their relationships in a meaningful way. My approach is evidence-based, and tailored to each client’s needs. I draw from modalities such as CBT, DBT, and person-centered therapy.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

The first session is a space to slow down and begin understanding what’s bringing you to therapy. We’ll talk through: What’s been weighing on you or prompting you to seek support Your current stressors, relationships, and emotional experiences You can expect a calm, structured, and supportive conversation — not pressure to share everything at once. We’ll begin identifying initial goals. My clients leave their first session feeling a sense of relief, clarity, and reassurance that they don’t have to navigate everything on their own.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I offer a calm, grounded space where you don’t have to perform or have everything figured out. My goal is to help you slow down, understand what’s beneath the surface, and move forward with greater clarity and intention.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I specialize in working with motivated individuals, couples, and families who are ready to stop feeling stuck and start investing deeply in themselves and their relationships. If you are tired of repetitive arguments, chronic burnout, or old family patterns holding you back, I provide a structured, practical space using CBT and DBT to help you build a life and relationships you love.

My treatment methods

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) helps my clients learn to balance acceptance (validating their current pain) with change (learning new behaviors). It is highly effective for clients struggling with intense emotions, chaotic relationships, impulsive behaviors, or trauma.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps my clients learn to identify and reframe the negative connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so that they break unhelpful cycles.
