LMHC, 6 years of experience
New to Grow
I’m a licensed therapist passionate about helping people create positive, lasting change in their lives. I work with individuals, couples, and families who are seeking support with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, and more. My approach is rooted in Adlerian therapy, which means I focus on understanding your unique life story, identifying patterns that may be holding you back, and helping you develop a stronger sense of purpose and connection. I believe that healing happens through encouragement, insight, and collaboration, and I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel truly seen and supported.
In your first session with me, you can expect a warm, welcoming space where we begin to get to know each other. I’ll ask about what brings you to therapy, your current concerns, and some background information to better understand your unique story. We’ll talk about your goals for therapy and what you hope to get out of our work together. This session is also an opportunity for you to ask questions, get a feel for my style, and decide if we’re a good fit. My goal is to make you feel heard, respected, and supported right from the start.
One of my greatest strengths as a provider is my ability to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel genuinely seen and heard. I bring warmth, empathy, and curiosity to each session, which helps foster trust and openness. I’m skilled at helping clients identify unhelpful patterns and make meaningful connections between past experiences and present challenges. Using an Adlerian approach, I focus on encouragement, collaboration, and helping clients build a stronger sense of self and purpose. I also value flexibility, meeting each client where they are and adapting my approach to best support their unique needs and goals.
I’m best positioned to serve clients who are ready to explore their inner world and make meaningful changes in their lives. This includes individuals who may feel stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed, and are seeking greater clarity, purpose, and self-understanding. I work especially well with adults navigating life transitions, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, or long-standing emotional patterns. My approach is a good fit for clients who are open to self-reflection, value a collaborative therapeutic relationship, and are looking for both insight and practical tools to create lasting growth.
In my private practice, I incorporate Adlerian therapy by focusing on understanding each client's unique lifestyle, early childhood experiences, and sense of belonging. I work collaboratively with clients to uncover mistaken beliefs and develop more constructive patterns of thinking and behavior. Through encouragement and goal setting, I help clients build self-awareness, increase their sense of purpose, and foster healthier relationships both personally and socially.
