About me

Hi, I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel heard, understood, and supported. My personal and professional experiences have helped me connect with people from all walks of life with empathy and without judgment. I’ve worked in hospice, private practice, as a nursing home social worker, and at three inpatient and outpatient mental health facilities. In private practice, I worked with clients facing a wide range of concerns and life challenges, giving me experience supporting people through many different situations. I welcome clients of all backgrounds and identities and strive to provide a safe, compassionate space where we can work together toward healing, growth, and the life you want to build.

Get to know me

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

Before we dive into deeper work, our first session is about getting to know each other and building trust. We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, your goals, and any concerns or questions you may have. My priority is to create a safe, supportive, and judgment free space where you can share at your own pace and begin building a strong foundation for our work together.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is the life experience I bring into the room. Having navigated a wide range of challenges, I strive to meet every client with genuine empathy, compassion, and understanding. I provide a judgment free space where you can be yourself, share openly, and feel supported as we work together toward your goals.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal client is someone ready to build a genuine, collaborative partnership based on total trust. I love working with talkative clients who openly share their thoughts, stories, and goals, creating an environment of open communication. Most of all, I value clients who trust my expertise and guidance, allowing us to navigate challenges together, make confident decisions, and achieve meaningful, long-term progress side by side.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I specialize in helping individuals navigate the overwhelming weight of anxiety and the challenges of major life adjustments. In our collaborative sessions, I use evidence-based tools like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you break free from racing thoughts, manage stress, and regain a sense of control. Whether you are facing a difficult life transition such as a career change, relationship shift, or relocation or dealing with chronic worry, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to build practical coping skills. Together, we will work to ease your anxiety, strengthen your resilience, and help you confidently adapt to life's changes.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I specialize in helping individuals navigate the overwhelming weight of anxiety and the challenges of major life adjustments using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). In our collaborative sessions, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to help you build practical skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Whether you are facing a difficult life transition such as a career change, relationship shift, or relocation or dealing with chronic worry, DBT offers concrete strategies to help you tolerate painful moments, manage intense emotions, and find balance. Together, we will work to calm your anxiety, strengthen your resilience, and help you confidently build a life that feels meaningful and grounded

Christian Counseling

I specialize in blending professional clinical expertise with Christian values to help you navigate anxiety and difficult life adjustments. In our collaborative sessions, we can integrate prayer, Scripture, and Biblical principles alongside practical therapeutic tools to address racing thoughts and life transitions. Whether you are facing a major shift in your career or relationships, or experiencing chronic worry, I provide a grace-filled, non-judgmental space to help you heal. Together, we will work to ease your anxiety, strengthen your faith, and rely on God's guidance to help you confidently adapt to life's changes.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

ACT ficuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while choosing actions that reflect a person’s values. I can stay open-minded, listen without judgment, and help people focus on what truly matters to them. I encourage resilience, self-awareness, and taking meaningful steps forward even when challenges arise.
