Great to meet you!

Hello and welcome!

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, and I’m glad you’re here. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I work with teens, young adults, and adults ages 15–40 who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and self-esteem concerns. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy is most effective when it feels like a collaborative partnership. Every person has a unique story, so I tailor my approach to meet your individual needs, strengths, and goals. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and person-centered therapy, I help clients develop practical coping skills, gain insight, and build confidence as they navigate life's challenges.

What you can expect from me

I begin with an introductory session where we explore what brought you to therapy, your current concerns, and what you hope to achieve. I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment where you can feel comfortable being open and authentic. Together, we will develop a plan that supports your goals and helps you create lasting positive changes in your life.
