As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I specialize in helping individuals navigate the complexities of trauma, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and the daily challenges that can sometimes feel unmanageable. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to meet you where you are, providing a safe and compassionate space to explore your inner world. In my practice, I use evidence-based approaches that support you in uncovering your strengths, developing new coping skills, and finding pathways to healing and resilience.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, clients can expect a warm and supportive environment where we discuss their concerns, goals, and what brought them to therapy. I will gather background information, explain how therapy works (including my use of CBT), and collaborate with them to develop a personalized treatment plan. It's also an opportunity for them to ask questions and set expectations for future sessions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I take an empathic and nonjudgmental approach to therapy, truly listening to my clients and meeting them where they are. With expertise in community mental health, I specialize in working with high-acuity populations facing severe and persistent mental health challenges. I am dedicated to providing compassionate care and evidence-based interventions to individuals with complex diagnoses, ensuring they receive the support and tools needed to stabilize, heal, and thrive.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Whether you’re dealing with a recent life transition, coping with intense feelings of anxiety, or processing past trauma, I offer personalized strategies. Using a person-centered approach, I integrate techniques from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and trauma-informed care to create a customized plan that aligns with your goals.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my private practice, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and reframe negative thought patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and improve emotional regulation. Through structured sessions, I guide clients in challenging unhelpful beliefs and implementing practical behavioral changes to enhance their overall well-being.

She sees me and listened to me with her whole self. She encouraged me to remember self care is the best thing for me to do in order to take care of myself and family.
