Compassionate and experienced counselor specializing in anxiety, grief, trauma, and life transitions. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore challenges, build coping strategies, and strengthen communication skills. My approach blends evidence-based practices such as CBT, ACT, and mindfulness with a culturally sensitive, client-centered perspective. I also integrate equine-assisted therapy for clients who benefit from experiential and relational approaches.

I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating stress, relationship concerns, academic or career pressures, and emotional difficulties. Clients can expect an environment focused on trust, growth, and practical tools for lasting change.
