Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over three years of experience working with children, adolescents, and families. I provide individual and family therapy to clients experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, selective mutism, and related emotional and behavioral concerns.

My approach to therapy

My approach is client-centered and strengths-based, with an emphasis on emotional regulation, coping skills, and family collaboration. I serve children, adolescents, and adults, typically ranging from early childhood through adulthood.

What you can expect from me

In the first session, we focus on getting to know each other in a relaxed, easygoing way while addressing what brought you to therapy. This is a space for you to share your main concerns at your own pace, ask questions, and talk about what you’re hoping to get out of the process. We’ll work together to build rapport, discuss goals, and make sure you feel comfortable, supported, and understood.
