Great to meet you!

I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples. I believe in viewing individuals as a whole and guiding them with evidence-based, strength-focused approaches to foster self-awareness and encourage positive change.

My approach to therapy

My passion is helping others rediscover their potential, overcome barriers, and reestablish their lives. With specialized training in trauma-informed yoga (RYT-200) and mindfulness, I use these tools to when needed to enhance my counseling practice. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for healing and growth, welcoming individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and set goals. We'll examine how your thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected, and I'll help you learn strategies to challenge and change negative thoughts. This can improve your well-being. Progress looks different for everyone, so we'll tailor our approach to fit your unique needs.
