Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who takes an integrative and holistic approach to therapy. I help clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and deeper patterns so they can create meaningful and lasting change.

My work combines mindfulness and meditation with traditional therapy approaches to support individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. I also incorporate depth-oriented techniques such as dream exploration and reflection on underlying patterns that may be influencing your current experiences.

When appropriate, I integrate hypnosis-informed techniques to support deeper awareness and behavior change, as well as psychedelic integration support for clients who are looking to process and make sense of past experiences in a grounded and meaningful way.

I value creating a calm, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your inner world while also developing practical tools for everyday life. I may also encourage connection with nature as a way to support grounding, clarity, and emotional balance.

My goal is to help you gain insight, build awareness, and move toward a more balanced and aligned version of yourself.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is integrative and holistic. I combine mindfulness and meditation with traditional therapy to help clients understand their thoughts, emotions, and deeper patterns. I draw from psychodynamic and existential approaches to explore underlying causes, while also providing practical tools for managing anxiety, stress, and life challenges. I may incorporate dream exploration, hypnosis-informed techniques, and nature-based practices to support deeper awareness, emotional balance, and meaningful change.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know you—your experiences, current challenges, and what you hope to gain from therapy. I’ll ask questions to better understand your background and help identify initial goals, while also giving you space to share at your own pace. You can expect a calm, nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard and supported. We’ll also begin exploring what approach may work best for you and how we can move forward together.
