Great to meet you!

I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor ( LMHC) who provides warm, supportive space for individuals seeking growth and healing. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship concerns, using evidence based approaches tailored to each client. My goal is to help clients feel understood, empowered, and confident as they work toward meaningful change.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy works best when clients feel genuinely heard and supported. I partner with clients to explore patterns, strengthen coping skills, and build on their existing strengths. My work is grounded in evidence-based practices and guided by empathy, respect, and trust.

What you can expect from me

In your first session, you can expect a relaxed, welcoming conversation focusing on your needs and goals. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, answer any questions, and begin creating a plan at a comfortable pace.
