Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) providing virtual therapy for both adults and children. I specialize in supporting clients experiencing anxiety, depression, and eating disorders, and I offer a warm, empathetic, and client-centered space where you can feel understood and supported.

My approach to therapy

My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused strategies, and a family systems perspective to help clients build practical coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and strengthen relationships. Whether you’re navigating overwhelming emotions, struggling with self-esteem and body image, or seeking tools for everyday stress, I tailor therapy to your unique needs and goals to help you move forward with confidence and lasting change.

What you can expect from me

I use evidence-based approaches including CBT and solution-focused therapy, along with a family systems lens when helpful. Together, we’ll identify what’s been keeping you stuck, build practical tools for coping, and work toward goals that feel realistic and empowering—so you can feel more in control and more connected to yourself and the people around you.
