LPC, 10 years of experience
I’m a therapist who believes healing happens through compassion, honesty, and collaboration. My style is supportive yet practical—I help clients explore their struggles while also developing concrete skills to move forward. I work with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain, and together we create a safe space to uncover strengths, build resilience, and move toward meaningful change. I have a passion for helping others and it has become my purpose in my life. I believe that prioritizing your mental health is crucial for leading a healthy and fulfilling life.
In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and talk about what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask questions about your goals, your history, and what you hope to gain from our work together, but there’s no pressure—you can share only what feels comfortable. We’ll also go over what therapy looks like, answer any questions you might have, and begin identifying the first steps toward your goals. My priority is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood as we start this journey. Look at current challenges more closely. In our 1st session please expect the following: Begin identifying thought, feeling, and behavior patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Clarify your needs and values. Collaboratively set early goals for therapy.
Having worked with in mental health field for the past 10 plus years, (substance abuse programs, psychiatric hospitals, school systems, outpatient care) I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you identify the root cause of your challenges and create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress. What clients often tell me is that I bring both warmth and practicality to our work. I create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be honest about what you’re going through, while also offering tools and strategies you can use right away in daily life. I tailor my approach to your unique needs, drawing from evidence-based methods like CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques. My greatest strengths lie in helping clients gain practical tools they can use right away to manage stress, anxiety, and difficult emotions. I use evidence-based approaches such as CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques to guide our work. Clients often notice real improvements in clarity, coping, and confidence early in therapy. I’m committed to helping you make steady, lasting progress toward the life you want—not just insight, but real change. Clients appreciate that I balance compassion with clarity, offering both support and direction.
I work best with people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for change—even if they’re not sure where to start. My ideal clients are those who want support with challenges such as anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, life transitions, or low self-esteem. Many of the people I see are motivated to feel better and live more authentically, but need guidance, tools, and a safe space to sort through what’s getting in the way. Whether you’re seeking clarity, healthier coping skills, or deeper self-understanding, I’m here to help you move forward with more confidence and balance.
It is my goal to help clients identify their strengths, help you learn coping skills, gain insight into your thought patterns and behaviors; to help you navigate life’s daily stressors and overcome the greater obstacles. Using CBT we can identify negative thought patterns and core beliefs.
