Great to meet you!

I am a compassionate and understanding counselor dedicated to supporting individuals through life’s challenges with empathy, respect, and encouragement. I hold a master of Science in Rehabilitation Counseling and I am committed to creating a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered in their personal growth and healing journey.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), helping clients develop practical strategies to manage emotions, change unhelpful thought patterns, and build healthier coping skills.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a welcoming environment where they can feel comfortable sharing their concerns and goals. The initial session is an opportunity to get to know one another, discuss what brings the client to counseling, and explore their personal history, strengths, and challenges.
