Great to meet you!

Searching for a therapist for yourself or your child can feel overwhelming, especially when you may not know exactly where to begin. My goal is to make that first step feel comfortable, supportive, and free of judgment.

I provide individual counseling to children ages 5+, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, substance use, and behavioral, relationship, or family difficulties. I take a person-centered approach and strive to create a safe space where you or your child can feel heard, understood, and supported.

My approach to therapy

I have experience working in inpatient substance use treatment, community mental health, and school-based settings. I utilize evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Play Therapy, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin talking about what brought you or your child to therapy. We will discuss current concerns, relevant history, goals for counseling, and what you hope to change or improve. There is no pressure to have everything figured out or know exactly what to say. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, heard, and supported while we work together to determine the best path forward.
