Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) dedicated to helping adolescents and adults navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and clarity. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress management, life transitions, relationship concerns, and autism-related evaluations. My approach is warm, supportive, and collaborative, creating a space where clients feel comfortable being themselves while working toward meaningful personal growth and lasting change.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. I utilize evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based therapy, and person-centered techniques to help clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and difficulties with emotional regulation. Together, we identify practical strategies, build on existing strengths, and create meaningful goals that support lasting growth and well-being.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, you can expect a welcoming, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where we will focus on getting to know one another. We will discuss what brings you to therapy, your current challenges, relevant background information, and what you hope to achieve through treatment. Together, we will begin identifying goals and developing a plan that aligns with your needs and values. My goal is for you to leave the session feeling heard, understood, and confident about the path forward.
