LPC, 14 years of experience
Hello. I am Dr. C. Thank you for being here—I don’t take your presence for granted. Seeking support is a powerful step, and I’m honored to walk alongside you on this journey. With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I’ve had the privilege of working with people from many ages, backgrounds, and walks of life. These experiences have shaped my commitment to creating a safe, compassionate, and collaborative space for healing and growth. I’m here to help you navigate challenges, reconnect with yourself, and move toward becoming a healthier, happier version of you. I look forward to supporting you in this important chapter of your life.
In our first session, your lived experiences will be the centerpiece of our work together. You won’t need to spend extra energy educating me about your unique challenges—I am committed to meeting you exactly where you are. I understand that being human can be both complex and, at times, lonely. During this initial conversation, we’ll explore your present concerns and begin identifying a pathway forward. If you feel comfortable, I’ll walk alongside you as a co-pilot on your journey toward growth and healing.
The strength of my practice lies in creating a safe, compassionate space where clients feel genuinely seen and heard. While I may bring expertise in many therapeutic approaches, you are the expert of your own life experiences. You have control over what you choose to share and how you’d like to use our time together. In our work, I offer information, gentle challenges, and a neutral perspective to support you in moving toward where you want to be. I hold no expectations other than that you come as you are. This is a space where things don’t need to sound perfect—only authentic—so you can give voice to what you’ve been carrying. Together, we’ll make sense of what emerges and explore what to do with it. As a holistic practitioner, I integrate mind–body awareness with evidence-based and experiential approaches. My goal is to help you attune to your whole self and support you in becoming the healthiest, most grounded version of you.
I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, identity concerns, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed by balancing multiple roles, coping with unexpected changes, or carrying the weight of generational and interpersonal struggles. If you’re seeking a safe space to feel seen and heard while building resilience and reconnecting with your sense of self, I’m here to walk alongside you. Together, we’ll take the journey one step at a time, working toward healing, growth, and a more grounded you.
For clients who are interested in deeper processing, I integrate this somatic technique as a way to support the release of emotional stress carried in the mind and body.
I use this technique to support clients in reshaping unhelpful thought patterns and developing healthier, more constructive ways of thinking.
I value meeting clients where they are and adjusting my approach to their unique needs. My style is intentionally casual and conversational, not prescriptive, so that therapy feels like a supportive space rather than a set of rigid directives.
I use this technique to help clients explore and embrace self-compassion for the parts of themselves that may have been buried, creating space for healing and wholeness.
I use this approach to help clients uncover how past experiences and unconscious processes may be affecting their current behaviors, opening the door to greater insight and healthier patterns.

My first session gave me a little piece of the relief I’ve been looking for. Left the session feeling lighter and more uplifted, looking forward to next weeks session already :)
