Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who has been working in private practice since 2019. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, life transitions, low self esteem and relationship challenges. I aim to help clients feel understood while building practical tools and insight to support meaningful change.

My approach to therapy

I approach therapy from a highly collaborative perspective and aim to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can process your experiences and emotions, deepen your understanding of yourself, and identify changes that help you live more fully in alignment with your values.

I tailor my approach to each client’s individual needs and goals, incorporating tools and techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based strategies.

What you can expect from me

The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and for you to share what is bringing you to therapy. I strive to create a comfortable, supportive environment where you can begin discussing your experiences, concerns, and goals at your own pace. I welcome questions about the therapy process and my approach so you can feel informed and comfortable with what to expect from our work together. Collaboratively, we will begin identifying goals for therapy and discuss tools and strategies that align with your individual needs, strengths, and hopes for change.
