Beginning a journey into therapy can feel like opening a door you didn’t realize was locked — both unfamiliar and full of possibility. I’m here to guide you through that door, one step at a time. I specialize in working with individuals dealing with the difficulties of anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem, goal setting, and assertiveness. It has shown me the powerful role therapy can play in healing. My therapeutic approach is client-centered, collaborative, and tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

Get to know me

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

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We’ll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. Therapy is a process, and we’ll continue to build our work together over time. It’s completely normal to feel nervous about your first appointment. We’ll take it one step at a time, and I’m here to guide you through each step of the process.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My journey into the mental health field began with a desire to help others find peace and joy in their life. Early on, I witnessed the power of listening and empathy through personal experiences and meaningful conversations with people facing life’s challenges. These moments planted a seed that grew into a calling—to support others in navigating their struggles with compassion and insight. One of the most influential experiences in my path was working in a mental health crisis center. I met individuals from all walks of life, each carrying complex stories of pain, hope, and survival. That work not only shaped my clinical skills but solidified my belief in the profound impact of holding space for others with non-judgment, safety, and respect. Today, what continues to motivate me is the privilege of walking alongside people as they reconnect with their strengths, clarify their needs, and create meaningful change. I believe that healing happens in relationships—and my goal is to offer a therapeutic space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, identity questions, or life transitions, I'm here to help you explore what matters most to you, and to work together toward healing and growth.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by depression, or stuck in unfulfilling relationships? Do you find yourself doubting your worth, struggling to set meaningful goals, or wishing you could speak up more confidently? You're not alone—and you don’t have to navigate these challenges on your own. I specialize in working with adults who are ready to explore the deeper patterns behind their distress and move toward a more grounded, empowered sense of self. Whether you're facing persistent self-doubt, difficulty making decisions, or a desire to better understand and express your needs, our work together will create a space of trust, insight, and practical growth. Using a warm, collaborative approach, I help clients identify what's getting in the way of the life they want. We'll work together to build emotional resilience, improve communication and boundaries, develop self-compassion, and create a roadmap for change that reflects your values and goals. If you're ready to reconnect with your strengths and step into a more confident, fulfilling version of yourself, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
