If you've been in therapy before and felt like sessions were either too heavy or too surface-level, you might be looking for something different. I'm a bilingual English and Albanian-speaking Licensed Mental Health Counselor with more than 15 years of experience. I help people process past trauma and how it shapes day-to-day life, while working through current challenges at the same time. I keep sessions fun and informative while honoring the incredibly somber and difficult experiences you've had — and I hope to help you change the way you want to chang

I draw primarily from CBT, adapting it to how you actually think and what's going on in your specific life, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. I believe that when therapy is genuinely tailored to you, you can take those concepts and adapt them to your own life, in your own way. Therapy should feel useful outside the session, not just inside it.

The first session is all about discovery — I'll ask you lots of questions to help get us going. It can feel intense, but it's the best place to start to make progress. Plus, I try to make it as engaging as possible, and it can actually have felt fun by the end. We'll look at past events, reflect on your experiences, and start identifying patterns that may be getting in the way. If this sounds like a good fit, reach out. I'd love to connect.
