About me

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with more than three years of experience working in a private practice setting, supporting children, adolescents, adults, and couples. My approach is both clinical and creative—rooted in evidence-based practices such as CBT and play therapy, while infused with personality, authenticity, and connection. I have worked with a wide spectrum of life challenges from more complex and severe presentations, including psychotic disorders, to challenges such as mood disorders, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. Clients often describe me as approachable, empowering, and resourceful, and I strive to make therapy both engaging and meaningful.

Get to know me

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

A first session with me is designed to feel both welcoming and grounding. We begin by exploring what brings you into therapy, gathering background information, and discussing your hopes or goals so we can create a clear direction together. I also invite you to ask questions, share what makes you most comfortable in a therapeutic relationship, and consider whether the energy and connection feel like a good fit, as I view the process as collaborative from the very start.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

What stands out about my therapeutic approach is the way I blend clinical expertise with creativity, warmth, and adaptability. I draw from evidence-based methods while also weaving in experiential techniques—whether that’s play-based interventions, expressive tools, or reframing strategies—to make therapy both engaging and effective. Clients often describe our work as uniquely personal, practical, and transformative, because they not only gain insight but also leave sessions with skills and perspectives they can immediately apply to their daily lives.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am best positioned to serve individuals and families who are seeking both practical tools and a supportive space to navigate life’s challenges. I work well with clients who may feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, mood difficulties, or relational struggles, but who are also open to creative, collaborative approaches that foster self-awareness and lasting change. Whether the goal is building coping skills, improving communication, strengthening family dynamics, or gaining clarity during times of transition, I partner with clients who are motivated to explore, grow, and actively engage in the therapeutic process.

My treatment methods

Eclectic

I use an eclectic approach to therapy by drawing from multiple evidence-based modalities, tailoring techniques to meet each client’s unique needs and goals. This flexibility allows me to integrate methods such as CBT, play therapy, and family-systems work in a way that best supports growth and healing. By combining strategies rather than relying on one rigid framework, I create a personalized and effective therapeutic experience.
