Great to meet you!

I’m a therapist with 7 years of experience, and I earned my degree from Grand Canyon University. I’ve had the opportunity to work with individuals across all age groups, from young children to older adults, helping them navigate a wide range of challenges. My approach is honest, real, and direct—but always rooted in compassion and understanding. I believe in creating a space where you feel supported, seen, and encouraged to grow. Therapy with me is about doing the work together, with authenticity and purpose

A bit about my approach to therapy

I bring a grounded, no-nonsense approach to sessions—honest and direct, without sugarcoating the truth. I believe in telling it like it is, while still creating a space that feels safe, respectful, and deeply supportive.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients feel seen, challenged, and empowered to do the work because they know I am fully present and genuinely invested. My approach is rooted in authenticity, compassion, and accountability.
