With over 12 years of experience in behavioral health, I understand that reaching out for therapy isn’t always easy. Throughout my career—including extensive experience in an inpatient psychiatric setting—I’ve had the privilege of helping adolescents and adults navigate some of life’s most challenging moments.

Working in crisis settings has taught me how to remain calm, grounded, and compassionate, even when life feels overwhelming. Whatever you’re carrying, you don’t have to worry about being “too much” or saying the wrong thing. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported as we work together toward meaningful change.

I work with teens, young adults, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, and emotional regulation difficulties. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), strengths-based therapy, and person-centered therapy, I help clients build practical skills while gaining deeper insight into themselves.

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely heard and accepted. Whether you’re facing a current challenge or looking to better understand yourself, I’ll meet you where you are and help you move toward the life you want to create.

I believe the most effective therapy begins with a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, compassion, and authenticity. My approach is collaborative, meaning we’ll work together to identify your goals and create a treatment plan that feels right for you.

I integrate evidence-based techniques such to help clients better understand their thoughts, manage difficult emotions, and build healthier coping strategies.

I strive to create an environment where you feel safe to be yourself without fear of judgment. Therapy isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about exploring challenges together, discovering your strengths, and helping you feel more confident navigating life’s ups and downs.

The first session is all about getting to know you. We’ll discuss what brought you to therapy, what’s been weighing on you, and what you’d like to accomplish through counseling. I’ll ask questions about your background, relationships, and current concerns so I can better understand your experiences and what matters most to you.

You don’t have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy, and there’s no pressure to share more than you’re comfortable with. We’ll move at a pace that feels right for you.

By the end of our first session, you’ll have a better understanding of how I work, and together we’ll begin developing goals that align with what you’re hoping to achieve. My hope is that you leave feeling heard, supported, and optimistic about the path ahead.
