I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over seven years of experience providing mental health treatment in both community and correctional settings. My approach is compassionate, structured, and collaborative, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a holistic understanding of how thoughts, emotions, and life experiences shape well-being. I strive to create a supportive space where clients feel heard, empowered, and equipped with practical tools to manage challenges and build lasting change.

Get to know me

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

In your first session, we’ll focus on getting to know you—what’s bringing you to therapy, what you’ve been experiencing, and what you hope to gain from this process. I’ll ask thoughtful questions to understand your history, current challenges, and strengths, but there’s no pressure to share everything at once. We’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. You can expect a warm, structured, and collaborative environment where your concerns are taken seriously. By the end of our first meeting, we’ll begin identifying initial goals and outline a direction for our work together so you leave with clarity about next steps and a sense of what our therapy process will look like.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

What stands out about my therapeutic approach is the balance between depth and practicality. I don’t just explore why patterns exist—I also help you build clear, usable tools to shift them. My work integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a holistic lens, looking at how your thoughts, emotions, relationships, past experiences, and lifestyle all interact. Clients often tell me they appreciate the structured yet compassionate nature of our work. Sessions are intentional and goal-oriented, but never rigid. I help you understand your internal patterns, challenge unhelpful beliefs, strengthen emotional regulation, and build healthier ways of responding to stress. The result is not just insight—but measurable change in how you feel, think, and show up in your life and relationships.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am best positioned to work with individuals who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions and are ready to better understand themselves and create meaningful change. I specialize in helping clients who struggle with emotional regulation, relationship challenges, self-worth issues, or patterns rooted in early life experiences. My ideal clients are motivated—even if unsure where to start—and open to a collaborative, skills-based approach that blends insight, practical coping tools, and deeper narrative exploration. Whether you’re navigating stress, healing from past wounds, or working toward personal growth, I provide a structured yet compassionate space to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a primary intervention approach to help patients identify and challenge maladaptive thought patterns that contribute to emotional dysregulation and behavioral concerns. My work focuses on increasing insight into the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while teaching practical coping strategies to improve distress tolerance, mood stability, and problem-solving skills. Within the correctional setting, I apply CBT interventions in a structured, skills-based manner tailored to each patient’s cognitive level and clinical presentation.
