I’m a licensed therapist who works with adults navigating life’s changes, challenges, and transitions. I know firsthand how overwhelming stress, burnout, and shifting roles can feel, and I bring both professional training and lived experience into the therapy space. My approach is client-centered and goal-oriented. I often work with clients experiencing a wide range of issues, from life transitions and relationship challenges to anxiety, depression, and trauma. I genuinely value connection and trust in the therapeutic relationship. My hope is that you leave sessions feeling heard, supported, and more confident in your ability to move forward with clarity, resilience, and self-trust.
In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other and creating a space where you can feel comfortable and supported. There’s no pressure to share everything right away—we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy and what’s been most challenging lately. Together, we’ll begin to identify goals and create a plan that feels realistic, collaborative, and tailored to your needs. **LGBTQ affirming.
Many of my clients share that they find it easy to talk to me and feel truly heard and understood during our sessions. I make it a priority to be non-judgmental, flexible, and approachable, creating a space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling both supported and empowered, with a renewed sense of clarity and purpose to move forward with intention and confidence.
I’m grateful to work with adults of all ages, from college students navigating the challenges of early adulthood to seasoned professionals, and individuals in mid-life or beyond facing life transitions, relationship changes, burnout, caregiving, trauma, grief, and loss. No matter where you are in life, I’m here to support you through your unique journey. I strive to create an inclusive, compassionate space for people of all cultures and backgrounds, ensuring that everyone feels welcomed, valued, and respected. I am deeply committed to providing a safe, affirming space for the LGBTQ+ community and anyone seeking support. Whether you're facing a significant life change or seeking guidance on personal growth, I’m here to help you navigate it with warmth, understanding, and care.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT helps you have a better understanding the link between your thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT teaches you to challenge negative thoughts, develop healthier responses, and manage mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, OCD, and PTSD, as well as issues like insomnia or chronic pain.
Positive Psychology
Positive psychology is focused on looking forward to build on your strengths, values, qualities, attributes and positive experiences to enhance well-being, happiness, and resilience. Focus is about "what's right with you" instead of "what's wrong with you," , to help you thrive by developing gratitude, purpose, optimism, and character strengths.
EMDR
EMDR focuses on healing from emotional distress caused by disturbing life experiences rather than just talking about them.
