Great to meet you!

With over 15 years of experience as a licensed mental health professional, I am deeply committed to providing ethical, effective, and compassionate care. My work is guided by a firm belief in each person’s ability to navigate challenges and create meaningful change in their life. I integrate a social justice lens into my practice to ensure equitable, client-centered treatment that respects diverse lived experiences.

My approach to therapy

I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help individuals harness their strengths and move toward future-oriented growth. Whether managing a crisis, navigating life transitions, or seeking deeper personal insight, I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and empowered.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect practical, actionable strategies that support both immediate relief and long-term development. My approach emphasizes resilience, solution-building, and sustainable well-being, ensuring that each session fosters confidence and clarity. My goal is to help you gain tools that support meaningful progress, both inside and outside of therapy.
