My journey into mental health wasn’t my first career—I bring a unique perspective shaped by diverse experiences. With an MBA from George Washington University, I worked for some of the world’s largest firms before realizing my true calling. Nearly a decade ago, I returned to school to earn my second master’s in mental health counseling, and since then, I’ve worked in residential treatment centers, a psychiatric hospital during COVID, and spent three years helping individuals in the criminal justice system heal and rebuild their lives. Now in private practice, I’m passionate about guiding others through transformation, resilience, and personal growth. I understand what it means to face change head-on, and I’m here to support you in creating meaningful, lasting change in your own life.
Your first session is all about getting to know each other and ensuring we’re a good fit. This is a collaborative process, and my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. We’ll start with a detailed assessment to explore what brought you here and identify key areas you’d like to focus on. Together, we’ll outline an initial case plan—your personalized roadmap for healing and growth. This plan, which we can adjust at any time, helps keep our work structured, focused, and completely centered around you. Each session begins with a check-in, where you’ll identify a "target"—a specific issue, feeling, or experience you'd like to explore. I’ll guide you through this process, helping you move toward deeper resolution, insight, and meaningful change. The case plan also serves as a mutual accountability tool, ensuring that we stay aligned with your goals while allowing flexibility as your needs evolve. Above all, this is your journey. My role is to support, guide, and empower you in a way that feels right for you.
I believe therapy should be as unique as you are. With a diverse background and extensive experience both receiving and delivering these therapeutic approaches, I’m able to customize our work to fit your specific needs. This flexibility allows us to make real-time adjustments, keeping our sessions focused and effective. My approach is entirely client-centered—meaning you’re not just following someone else’s interpretation of your experience. Instead, we work together to explore what truly matters to you, ensuring the process feels natural, meaningful, and aligned with your goals. This helps eliminate unnecessary distractions and empowers you to take an active role in your own transformation. If you’re ready to begin, I’d love to support you on this journey. Let’s take the first step together.
I believe true transformation starts with taking ownership of your journey, and I’m here to support you every step of the way. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. Together, we will: 1. Heal and Find Closure – Process past wounds in a way that fosters resolution and lasting emotional relief. 2. Rediscover Your Authentic Self – Explore who you are beyond past struggles and embrace the identity that emerges through transformation. 3. Build Meaningful Connections – Learn how to positively impact others while nurturing healthy, fulfilling relationships. 4. Communicate with Confidence – Approach confrontation in a constructive way, improving understanding, communication, and emotional expression. 5. Strengthen Integrity and Boundaries – Define what personal integrity means to you and establish boundaries that honor your well-being. 6. Deepen Your Experience of Intimacy – Discover how to appreciate and express intimacy in ways that feel safe, fulfilling, and genuine. 7. Commit to Ongoing Growth – Design a sustainable plan for continued self-exploration, healing, and personal development. You don’t have to navigate this alone. With a supportive, evidence-based approach, I’ll help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and a deeper sense of self. Let’s take this journey together.
I don’t do traditional talk therapy. Instead, I focus on helping you find real closure and resolution for emotional wounds. Our work is 100% guided by your Case Plan, ensuring a focused and personalized approach. I also teach practical techniques to navigate life’s toughest challenges, helping you build resilience and regain a sense of control. With advanced training in EMI, TIR, LSR, EMDR, and DBT, I use evidence-based methods to help you process past wounds, reconnect with your authentic self, and achieve lasting emotional well-being. My goal is to support your healing journey with techniques that bring a deeper sense of resolution so you can explore what you need to grow and re-establish a sense of identity.
Everyone has unique strengths, even if they feel hidden at times. Together, we’ll uncover what’s real and meaningful, helping you challenge limiting beliefs and embrace your true potential. Through this journey, we’ll set new goals, create action plans, and explore supportive communities to help you navigate life with confidence and grace. This process is a powerful step toward embracing your evolving identity and creating a life that aligns with your authentic self.
