Great to meet you!

My mission is to create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, navigate life’s challenges, and foster personal growth.

With a background in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Counselor Education, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals discover their strengths and overcome obstacles. My approach is rooted in empathy, active listening, and evidence-based techniques, ensuring that each session is tailored to your unique needs.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I understand that reaching out for help can be a daunting step, but it’s one of the most courageous decisions you can make. Whether you're dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, relational or attachment issues, or life transitions, my goal is to empower you with the tools and insights needed to make meaningful changes.

What you can expect from our first session

I prioritize building a trusting relationship with each client. Together, we will explore your experiences, identify patterns, and set achievable goals. My commitment is to walk alongside you on this journey, celebrating your progress and navigating challenges together. I invite you to take that first step toward a more fulfilling life. Let’s work together to uncover the path that leads to your personal and emotional well-being.
