Great to meet you!

Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in helping young adults and adults navigate life's complexities. I support clients with trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship changes, and those seeking more happiness. A key focus is working with adult children of emotionally immature parents.

My humanistic approach uses Interpersonal Therapy, CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, IFS, and psychoeducation. I meet you where you are, helping you set meaningful goals, establish healthy boundaries, and change how you perceive life.

My approach to therapy

While I work with diagnoses like anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and ADHD, I see each person as a whole—someone with their own story, struggles, and strengths, beyond labels. I became a counselor after navigating my own path out of dysfunctional patterns shaped by past relationships. I know what it's like to feel stuck and want to help you learn to move forward by determining what is best for you.

What you can expect from me

My goal is to create a safe, seen, and supported space where change is possible, and you are met with unconditional positive regard. If you're ready to explore new ways of thinking, feeling, and being, I'm here to help you along your journey.
