LPC, 9 years of experience
I believe that compassion and self-love are powerful tools that allow us to overcome life’s challenges and mental health struggles. By fostering a nonjudgmental and understanding environment, we can acknowledge that perfection is not the goal—growth is. Each person is unique, processing experiences in their own way and at their own pace. Through patience, collaboration, and consistency, we can achieve meaningful goals and build resilience together. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, my purpose is to help others just as I was once helped. My personal journey—marked by life experiences, challenges, and both right and wrong choices—has guided me toward the most rewarding profession: supporting others in their healing. It would be an honor to walk alongside you on your healing journey and to help you discover your strength, resilience, and potential for growth.
During our first session, we will take time to connect, get to know each other, and begin building a strong, collaborative therapeutic relationship. You will find that I bring a friendly and caring approach, treating your challenges as shared goals we will work through together. I will listen attentively and conduct an initial assessment to better understand your needs, concerns, and what brings you to therapy. Together, we will develop a treatment plan that aligns with your goals and feels meaningful and effective for you.
I am dedicated to providing compassionate care and evidence-based support to help you navigate the obstacles you may be facing. Drawing from years of experience working with diverse populations of varying ages, cultures, beliefs, and mental health needs, I bring a holistic and inclusive approach to therapy.
I am open to supporting clients who are ready to take a step toward change. Therapy is a journey, and while it may present challenges along the way, I believe that with patience, trust, and teamwork, we can develop the tools needed to help you regain confidence, emotional balance, and a sense of control in your life.
Compassion and self-love are essential in order to develop understanding and patience, which lead to regaining the power of controlling our emotions. If we learn to love ourselves and to become our priority, better things will follow.
I am certified in DBT and use this treatment method to teach my client create a good life, the the best life they can and that they deserve.
