If anxiety, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, or major life changes have left you feeling stuck, I want you to know that you don't have to figure everything out on your own. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with over 12 years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, anger, and difficult transitions. I work with clients who want to better understand themselves, improve their relationships, develop healthier coping skills, and feel more in control of their emotions. My goal is to create a supportive space where you can be honest about what you're experiencing while also helping you make meaningful, practical changes.

My approach is collaborative, practical, and focused on helping you make progress toward the changes that matter most to you. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing depending on your individual needs. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel heard and understood, while also giving you tools you can actually use outside of sessions. I will work with you to identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, develop healthier ways of responding to difficult emotions, and build on the strengths you already have.

You can expect me to listen without judgment while also being direct and solution-oriented when that is helpful. Together, we will identify your goals and work toward practical changes rather than simply talking about problems without a plan. I can help you better understand and regulate anxiety and emotions, communicate more effectively, navigate relationship challenges, and develop coping strategies for stress, depression, and difficult life circumstances. My hope is that you leave therapy with greater self-awareness, stronger coping skills, and a clearer sense of how to move forward.
