As a mental health counselor, I specialize in helping individuals manage anxiety, depression, and improve their overall well-being. In our sessions, we'll use various therapeutic techniques, including mindfulness and relaxation exercises, to help you gain better control over your anxiety and depression symptoms. I'll also provide psychoeducation on anxiety or depression, teaching you coping skills and strategies to use in stressful situations. Our goal will be to work together to reduce depression and anxiety's impact on your life and foster a greater sense of calm and confidence. Your confidentiality is a top priority, and I'm here to support you every step of the way. Through individual counseling sessions, we'll explore your thoughts and emotions, identify coping strategies, and set achievable goals to improve your mental well-being. I use evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you challenge negative thought patterns and build resilience. My approach is tailored to your unique needs and strengths, and I'm here to empower you in your journey towards positive change and personal growth. Let's work together to help you find the peace and clarity you deserve.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Building a trusting relationship is crucial. I will help you to create a safe and supportive environment where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings. Together, we will outline what you hope to achieve through therapy. I can help you create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

One of my greatest strengths as a counselor is my deep empathy and active listening skills. I genuinely connect with my clients' emotions and experiences, making them feel heard and understood. I take pride in my ability to approach counseling with cultural sensitivity. I understand and respect diverse backgrounds and beliefs, which allows me to tailor my approach to each client's unique perspective. A significant strength of mine is adaptability. I am able to tailor my approach based on the specific needs and preferences of each client. My commitment to maintaining clear boundaries and adhering to ethical guidelines is a foundational strength in my practice. I ensure that my clients feel safe and respected throughout our sessions, and I consistently prioritize their well-being.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Adult Clients (18 and up) I am best positioned to serve individuals who are navigating anxiety, depression, adhd, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My approach is especially supportive for those who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves and others. I work well with clients who are open to self-exploration and are looking for a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to better understand their emotions and develop healthier coping strategies. I also have a strong interest in supporting young adults, professionals facing burnout, and individuals struggling with self-esteem and identity-related concerns. Clients who benefit most from working with me are often seeking not only relief from distressing symptoms but also a deeper sense of meaning, purpose, and self-acceptance in their lives.
