I am a compassionate and dedicated mental health counselor committed to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges while building resilience, clarity, and emotional well-being. I believe that seeking support is a courageous step, and I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and understood. My goal is to help individuals explore their experiences, process difficult emotions, and develop meaningful strategies for growth and healing. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and client-centered, grounded in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I work with clients to understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while helping them build practical coping skills to manage stress, regulate emotions, and improve relationships. I believe therapy should not only offer insight but also provide tools that clients can use in their everyday lives. I have a strong interest in supporting individuals who are navigating trauma, stress, and major life transitions. Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure about how to move forward. Together, we work to identify patterns that may be contributing to distress while strengthening self-awareness, confidence, and healthy coping strategies. I am particularly passionate about supporting individuals who have spent much of their lives being strong for others. Therapy can be a place where those burdens are acknowledged and explored without judgment. My goal is to empower clients to better understand themselves, develop resilience, and move toward a life that feels more balanced, purposeful, and aligned with their values.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and U.S. Navy veteran who provides culturally responsive therapy to adolescents ages 14 and older and adults. I believe therapy should be a space where you can show up as your whole self and feel seen, heard, and understood without judgment. My goal is to create a supportive environment where clients can be honest about what they are experiencing while developing practical tools to help them move forward. I work with clients experiencing depression, grief and loss, major life transitions, relationship and family challenges, low self-esteem, difficulty with emotional regulation, and periods of feeling stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about what comes next. With adolescents, I enjoy helping young people navigate identity development, self-esteem, peer and family relationships, school stress, emotional regulation, and the challenges that come with transitioning into adulthood. Cultural competence is an important part of my work. I have a particular passion for working with clients of color and recognize that culture, family expectations, identity, community, and lived experiences can influence how we understand ourselves and how we experience the world. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship where these experiences can be openly explored and respected rather than overlooked. My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, practical, and direct. I don’t believe therapy has to feel overly clinical or disconnected from your everyday life. We will work together to identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, recognize your strengths, develop healthier ways of coping, and create realistic changes that support the life you want to build. Whether you are an adolescent figuring out who you are or an adult navigating a new chapter, therapy can be a place to grow, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with greater confidence.

I’m a client-centered therapist who believes therapy should feel as unique as you are. I don’t take a one size fits all approach. Instead, I take time to really get to know you, your story, and what matters most so we can shape our work in a way that truly fits your life. I strive to create a space that feels genuine, supportive, and comfortable, where you can be yourself without judgment. At the same time, I help you build practical tools and insights you can actually use outside of sessions to create meaningful, lasting change.
