(she/her)
I’m a licensed professional counselor and art therapist who works with children, teens, young adults, and parents navigating anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of your next steps, I offer a supportive space to explore what’s going on beneath the surface and work toward lasting change. I use a mix of evidence-based practices and creative, client-centered techniques to help you reconnect with yourself and move forward with clarity and confidence.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, you can expect a relaxed and welcoming space where we’ll start getting to know each other. I’ll ask about what brought you to therapy, what you hope to get out of our work together, and some background to help me understand your experiences. We’ll also go over any questions you have about the therapy process. There’s no pressure to share everything at once—this is your space, and we’ll go at a pace that feels comfortable for you. By the end of the session, we’ll have a clearer idea of your goals and how we might work together to support them.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strengths as a therapist lie in my ability to create a space where clients feel truly seen, heard, and supported without judgment. I take time to understand your unique experience, meet you where you are, and offer tools that are both emotionally supportive and practical. Clients often share that they feel safe being fully themselves in our sessions—whether they’re processing big emotions, exploring long-held patterns, or trying to reconnect with their identity and values. I’m here to walk alongside you in that process, helping you build insight, resilience, and a deeper connection to yourself.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work best with individuals who are feeling stuck, emotionally overwhelmed, or unsure of how to manage the challenges in front of them. This might look like navigating school stress, relationship changes, identity exploration, parenting struggles, or simply feeling lost or burnt out. I especially enjoy supporting neurodivergent clients and parents of neurodivergent children. I understand how thinking, sensory, and emotional differences can shape daily life, and I offer a nonjudgmental space to process, reflect, and find strategies that feel authentic and manageable. For parents, I also provide guidance and validation around guilt, shame, and self-doubt, along with practical support for building stronger connections at home.

Strength-Based
Let’s build on the strengths you already have. You’ve made it through a lot already and you don’t have to figure out the next steps alone. Together, we’ll find what’s already working and build on it so you can feel more confident and in control as you move forward.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
We’ll use tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to better understand how your thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected. This means learning new ways to handle stress, manage emotions, and shift unhelpful thought patterns so you can start feeling better day by day.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Our focus will be on what’s possible. Instead of staying stuck in problems, we’ll take small, realistic steps toward your goals. Change doesn’t have to feel overwhelming — and you don’t have to do it alone.
