Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and for over seven years I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people as they work toward personal growth and healing. Whether you’re facing grief, disappointment, or patterns that keep you feeling stuck, I’m here to help you find clarity and create a more balanced, satisfying life. My approach is collaborative and supportive-helping people uncover their strengths and make meaningful changes in their lives.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in both compassion and evidence-based practice. I draw from cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and person-centered techniques to help you better understand yourself and make meaningful changes. Together, we’ll work on identifying patterns that no longer serve you, building coping tools, and nurturing a sense of balance and resilience. Most clients describe feeling more grounded, self-aware, and capable of handling life’s ups and downs with greater ease.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, I’ll invite you to share what brings you to therapy and what you hope to gain from our work together. You don’t need to have everything figured out—just a willingness to talk about what’s been on your mind. I’ll also ask some background questions to better understand your history and current situation so we can develop a plan that fits your needs.
