I believe therapy should be a space where you feel heard, respected, and accepted for who you are. I work with teens and adults and have experience supporting clients through concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and difficult life transitions. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you can be honest about what you are experiencing and feel comfortable moving at a pace that works for you. My goal is to build a genuine therapeutic relationship where we can work together toward meaningful and lasting change.

My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and individualized to each client. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed interventions, and other therapeutic techniques based on your specific needs and goals. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing practical skills to navigate challenges. Therapy is not about changing who you are—it is about helping you build the skills, confidence, and understanding to create the life you want.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin understanding what brought you to therapy. We will talk about your current concerns, goals, background, and what you would like to get out of counseling. I will also explain how therapy works and answer any questions you may have about the process. You do not need to have everything figured out before coming in. My goal is for you to leave your first session feeling heard, understood, and with a clearer idea of how we can work together moving forward.
