LMHC, 10 years of experience
Hello, I am a licensed mental health counselor committed to supporting individuals, couples, and families as they navigate life’s challenges with confidence and compassion. My focus is on helping you find balance, strengthen your emotional well-being, and develop the tools you need to thrive. Together, we will work toward creating a life that feels easier and more fulfilling. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can feel genuinely heard and understood.
In your first session with me, the focus will be on building a genuine connection and making sure you feel comfortable, safe, and heard. We'll take the time to get to know each other, talk about what brings you in, and begin to explore what you’d like to get out of therapy. When you're ready, we’ll start identifying goals and setting the direction for our work together.
My greatest strengths as a provider lie in my compassion, empathy, and genuine care for the people I work with. I take a person-centered approach, meeting you where you are and supporting you without judgment. I'm here to offer guidance, encouragement, and practical tools—always with the goal of helping in whatever way I can to support your growth and healing.
I’m best positioned to serve individuals who are seeking support across a wide range of life challenges—from managing everyday stress and relationship issues to healing from past trauma, anxiety, and depression. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply in need of someone to talk to, I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore your experiences and work toward meaningful change.
I have experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in both training and clinical practice, primarily with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. My approach to CBT is grounded in its strong evidence-based model, which highlights how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another.
I have extensive experience using person-centered therapy, a compassionate and non-directive approach that places you at the center of the healing process. In my practice, I focus on creating a supportive environment built on empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard, allowing you to explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. This approach helps empower you to better understand yourself, build self-trust, and make meaningful, lasting changes.
I regularly incorporate psychoeducation into my clinical practice as a foundational component of treatment. My experience with this method spans a variety of settings, including individual therapy, group work, and family sessions. I use psychoeducation to help clients and their support systems better understand the nature of mental health conditions, treatment options, and the rationale behind specific therapeutic interventions.
I incorporate mindfulness-based approaches into my practice as both a stand-alone intervention and a complementary method alongside other therapies such as CBT. In practice, I introduce mindfulness techniques gradually, often starting with breath-focused awareness, grounding exercises, or body scans. These practices help clients build distress tolerance, regulate their emotions, and disengage from automatic or reactive patterns of thinking.

I’ve only had one session and he was very warm and caring and kind. He listened to what I was saying and asked engaging questions and provided some tools to use in hard times. I would recommend him.

This session was super helpful for me to put my own challenges in perspective and begin to feel less anxiety about what life had and has in store for me.
