Great to meet you!

I'm a compassionate mental health counselor (LMHC) with a passion for empowering individuals to achieve their goals. With a holistic approach and experience in person-centered, EMDR, and eclectic therapies, I create a safe and supportive virtual space for growth and healing. I have many years of experience working with the developmentally delayed population and their families, as well as clients with trauma, family conflict, domestic violence, navigating college, transitions in life, and religious abuse. My expertise helps clients uncover their strengths and promote lasting change

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative, adaptive, and rooted in empathy. I work with clients to create a safe space where they feel heard and understood, blending evidence-based modalities like EMDR with person-centered techniques to address anxiety, trauma, and relationships. I prioritize flexibility, adjusting my style to fit each client's unique needs and pace. Whether we're processing past hurts, building coping strategies, or exploring personal growth, my goal is to empower you to tap into your strengths and achieve meaningful change.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we'll focus on building a connection and establishing a comfortable space for you to share your story. We'll explore your goals for therapy, what's bringing you to this moment, and what you hope to achieve in our work together. I'll gather information about your concerns, strengths, and support systems, and we'll collaboratively set a direction for our time together. Think of this as a chance to get to know each other and lay the groundwork for our therapeutic journey – no pressure, just a genuine conversation. By the end of the session, you'll have a sense of our working relationship and next steps.
