Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor dedicated to supporting adults through a wide range of challenges, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, obsessive-compulsive disorder, relationship issues, self-esteem, sleep difficulties, men’s and women’s issues, trauma, PTSD, impulse and control disorders, and personal growth. My integrative approach draws from evidence-based practices such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centered techniques, mindfulness, and EMDR, tailored to meet you where you are.

I’m passionate about helping clients rediscover purpose, joy, and functionality. Witnessing your growth and resilience is what drives me. Let’s work together to explore your concerns and create practical solutions for a more fulfilling life.
