Clients say this provider is
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a master's degree in Counseling Psychology and over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. Throughout my career, I have worked with adolescents and adults in clinical, school, and community settings. My areas of focus include grief and loss, chronic illness, significant life changes, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am especially passionate about supporting people who are navigating changes or losses that have affected how they experience themselves, their relationships, or the life they expected to have.
Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin understanding what brings you to therapy. We'll talk about what has been happening in your life, what feels most important right now, relevant parts of your history, and what you hope to gain from therapy. You don't need to arrive with everything figured out or know exactly how to put what you're experiencing into words. I'll ask questions to help us better understand what you're going through, and we'll begin identifying your needs and goals together. You'll also have an opportunity to ask questions, learn more about how I work, and decide whether working together feels like a good fit.
One of my strengths is helping clients make sense of experiences that can be difficult to name or understand. Loss does not always involve death, and significant changes in health, relationships, roles, abilities, or expectations can bring grief, anxiety, depression, and difficulty adjusting. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I create space to process what has happened while also helping clients recognize patterns, build coping and emotional regulation skills, and identify what they need moving forward. I draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed approaches based on each client's needs. I believe therapy can hold both acceptance and change. Some circumstances cannot simply be fixed, but we can work together to understand what has changed, strengthen your ability to navigate difficult emotions, and explore how to live meaningfully within the life you have now.
My ideal client is an adolescent or adult navigating a significant change, loss, chronic illness, or season of life that has been more difficult to adjust to than expected. You may be experiencing grief, anxiety, depression, uncertainty, or feeling overwhelmed by how much your life has changed. You may be grieving a relationship, changes in your health or abilities, a role you once held, or a future you expected to have. You do not have to identify what you are experiencing as grief or have the right words for it. You may simply know that something has changed and you are having difficulty finding your footing. I work best with clients who are open to exploring their experiences, understanding emotional and thought patterns, developing practical skills, and finding meaningful ways to navigate what life looks like now.

I use CBT to help clients recognize connections between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and identify patterns that may be contributing to distress. Together, we explore these patterns, consider more helpful ways of thinking and responding, and develop practical strategies clients can use in their everyday lives.
I use ACT to help clients make space for difficult thoughts, emotions, and circumstances without allowing them to determine every choice they make. We may explore acceptance, mindfulness, personal values, and ways to continue moving toward what matters, particularly when clients are navigating changes or circumstances they cannot fully control.
I incorporate DBT skills to help clients better understand and manage intense emotions, tolerate distress, communicate effectively, and respond to difficult situations with greater intention. Depending on a client's needs, we may practice mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills.
