LPC, 12 years of experience
New to Grow
Life can feel overwhelming at times, and it’s easy to lose balance while trying to manage stress, relationships, and personal expectations. Therapy offers a supportive and confidential space to gain insight, build coping skills, and create lasting change. Through evidence-based approaches, I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions with compassion and professionalism. Together, we work to strengthen emotional resilience, improve communication, and enhance overall well-being. Reaching out for support is a courageous first step—therapy is not just about overcoming challenges, but about discovering your capacity to heal, grow, and thrive.
First session typically involves rapport building and Q and A/background gathering in order to set goals for treatment.
