Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe that understanding where you began is an important part of figuring out where you want to go. My goal is to create a supportive and non-judgmental space where you feel truly heard and understood. I’ll validate your experiences while also gently challenging you to explore patterns, build coping skills, and work toward meaningful change. Together, we’ll focus on helping you gain insight and create a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling.

My approach to therapy

I take a person-centered approach to therapy, integrating techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I work primarily with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, burnout, overthinking, and other mental health concerns, helping clients develop insight, build coping skills, and create meaningful change in their lives. I support clients in building practical skills such as managing overwhelming thoughts, improving emotional regulation, strengthening relationships, and developing healthier patterns in daily life.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other, building rapport, and discussing what brought you to therapy. We’ll also explore the goals you’d like to accomplish and what you’re looking for in a therapist so we can create a path forward that feels right for you.
