Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Rehabilitation Counselor with a background in supporting individuals and couples through a wide range of challenges. Whether you are battling constant anxiety, navigating a heavy mood, or feeling distant from your partner, taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming. I’m here to help you make sense of what you’re experiencing and give you the tools to regain control.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, active, and entirely person-centered. In our sessions, you can expect a nonjudgmental and safe space to unpack your thoughts. We won't just talk about the problems; we will use evidence-based practices, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) , Solution Focused, and mindfulness to build practical, real-world tools that create genuine, lasting change

  • Individuals: I specialize in helping adults and teens manage anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and complex life transitions.
  • Couples: I have extensive experience helping partners break through communication barriers, navigate cultural or family differences, and rebuild deep, meaningful connections.

What you can expect from me

You deserve to feel heard, understood, and supported. Reach out via messages, phone or email today. I look forward to connecting with you
