LMHC, 8 years of experience
I am passionate about guiding clients toward self-discovery and meaningful change, helping them build confidence, find clarity, and create a life that aligns with their values. If you're ready to take the next step in your journey, I welcome the opportunity to work with you. I am a licensed mental health counselor & I have been in the mental health field since 2017. I have provided support to individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and big life changes. I look forward to taking one step at a time beside you on your mental health journey.
At your first session, we will spend time completing your initial assessment where I will learn more about your history, family structure, history of therapy, and more. We will begin to formulate some of your beginning therapeutic goals. From there, we will figure out a consistent schedule for sessions that feels best for you, and start your journey together.
My style is individualized to each person and their specific needs. I believe it is a team effort, and the best results come from having someone who is walking beside you through the process.
If you are struggling with anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, life stressors, ADHD, or additional life stressors, I am here to support you.
I use CBT to help clients recognize and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. We work together to identify negative thinking, challenge distorted beliefs, and develop healthier coping strategies. I also incorporate behavioral techniques like exposure, behavioral activation, or skill-building to create lasting change. It’s a structured, collaborative approach that empowers clients to manage their emotions and reactions more effectively.
I use mindfulness-based therapy to help clients develop present-moment awareness, reduce reactivity, and build self-compassion. Through breathwork, and mindful observation, clients learn to notice thoughts and emotions without judgment. This approach is especially useful for managing anxiety, trauma, and emotional distress by fostering acceptance and intentional responses rather than automatic reactions
"I use relational therapy to explore how clients' past and present relationships shape their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By focusing on patterns in their interactions, both inside and outside of therapy, we work to improve communication, build secure connections, and address relational wounds. The therapeutic relationship itself serves as a space for healing, insight, and growth.
"I use strength-based therapy to help clients identify and build on their existing strengths, resilience, and resources. Rather than focusing solely on problems, we explore past successes, personal values, and innate abilities to foster confidence and empowerment. This approach encourages a positive, solution-focused mindset that supports growth and lasting change.
I use narrative therapy to help clients explore and reshape the stories they tell about themselves and their experiences. By identifying dominant narratives, challenging limiting beliefs, and highlighting strengths, clients can rewrite their stories in a way that fosters empowerment, resilience, and new possibilities for change.
