LMHC, 6 years of experience
As a therapist specializing in mood disorders, anxiety, addiction, and PTSD, I am committed to creating a safe, collaborative, and compassionate space for healing and growth. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the foundation for meaningful change, and I prioritize building a strong, trusting connection with each client. My approach is client-centered and flexible—I meet you where you are, honoring your unique story, strengths, and pace. Together, we work to deepen self-awareness, build resilience, and move toward lasting emotional well-being. I integrate talk therapy with evidence-based techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotional Freedom Technique- Tapping ( EFT), Mindfulness practices, and somatic approaches such as breathwork and grounding. Whether you're navigating overwhelming emotions, coping with trauma, or working toward recovery from addiction, I tailor our work to support your individual needs and goals.
In our first session together, my primary goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable being yourself. We will start by getting to know each other, I’ll invite you to share what brought you to therapy and what you're hoping to get out of our work together. At the same time, I’ll explain how I work—including the structure of sessions, confidentiality, and your rights as a client to help you feel informed and empowered from the start. Next, we will review your history This might include past experiences with mental health, relationships, trauma, substance use, or significant life events. You’re always in control of how much you share, and we’ll go at a pace that feels safe for you. Together, we’ll explore the concerns that are most pressing for you right now—whether it’s anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, addictive patterns, or feeling stuck or overwhelmed. I’ll ask questions to understand how these issues are affecting your life, thoughts, emotions, and body. This helps us begin to identify patterns and potential areas for growth. Fianlly, we’ll start to outline some initial goals or intentions for therapy.
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist lies in my ability to listen deeply and with presence. I create a space where clients feel genuinely heard and seen—often for the first time. My approach is grounded in compassion and non-judgment, allowing clients to explore even their most vulnerable experiences without fear of criticism or shame. While I hold space with empathy, I also gently challenge clients to move toward growth. I believe that healing involves not just understanding our struggles, but also developing the tools to navigate them. I support clients in identifying patterns, building awareness, and cultivating coping strategies that are both practical and sustainable.
As a therapist, I provide compassionate, collaborative support to adults navigating addiction, anxiety, trauma, and mood disorders. I specialize in working with individuals who are seeking change—whether they're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ambivalent about what comes next. Many of my clients come to therapy unsure of exactly what they need, but they know something isn’t working. Together, we explore that uncertainty with curiosity and care.
I specialize in working with adults facing anxiety, depression, and addiction.

I have been trained to use Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) as a practical and effective tool to help my clients release emotional distress, reduce stress, and address unresolved issues or limiting beliefs. EFT involves tapping on specific acupressure points on the body while focusing on the emotional or physical issue at hand.
