I’m a licensed counselor with over five years of experience working with individuals facing a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, and life transitions. My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Reality Therapy, which are designed to provide practical, actionable strategies for change. I believe in being straightforward and compassionate—helping you identify the thoughts and behaviors that may be holding you back, and empowering you to make lasting, positive changes. In our work together, you’ll receive honest feedback and support as we explore solutions that are tailored to your unique needs. Whether you’re seeking relief from difficult emotions, learning how to manage ADHD symptoms, coping with life’s pressures, or navigating transitions, I’m here to help you develop strategies that work for you. My goal is to give you the tools to build resilience, regain control, and move toward a more fulfilling life.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other and understanding what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask about your current challenges, personal history, and what you hope to achieve through our work together. This session is also an opportunity for you to share your story in a safe, nonjudgmental space and ask any questions about my approach. By the end, we’ll collaboratively outline a plan tailored to your goals and set the foundation for meaningful progress.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strengths as a provider are my ability to blend compassion with a direct, results-oriented approach. I’m skilled at helping clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns while providing clear, actionable strategies for change.
