Great to meet you!

As a board-certified, Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe prioritizing mental health is essential to achieving balance and manageability in life. Taking the first step is often the hardest, but it is also the most important. I have extensive experience working with diverse populations, from adolescents to adults, addressing trauma, PTSD, substance use, and other mental health disorders. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate their journey toward healing and stability, and I look forward to supporting you in creating a more manageable and fulfilling life.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I view the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative journey. I believe a strong, supportive therapeutic relationship is essential for meaningful change. My approach is person-centered, recognizing that you are the expert of your own life. I am here to provide guidance, insight, and support as you navigate your path, allowing you to lead the way while I help you explore new perspectives and possibilities.

What you can expect from our first session

At your first session, we'll start with an introduction where you'll have the opportunity to share your story and discuss what you hope to achieve in therapy. Together, we'll develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs and goals. I strive to create a warm, affirming, and calming environment in every session, to promote an environment where you feel comfortable being open and vulnerable while also feeling secure. From there, we'll work collaboratively in the sessions that follow to turn these goals into reality for you.
