I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with a passion for helping people feel more balanced, confident, and in control of their lives. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My approach is supportive and solution-focused, combining CBT and mindfulness with real-life strategies you can actually use. I strive to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and comfortable being yourself. Together, we’ll work toward meaningful and lasting change.

I take a solution-focused and action-oriented approach, helping clients move from feeling stuck to making meaningful progress. I combine CBT, mindfulness, and practical life strategies to build emotional resilience and healthier patterns. I specialize in working with high-functioning individuals and couples dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and major life transitions. My style is supportive but direct—I will meet you where you are while also challenging you to grow. We focus on real-life changes that improve both your mindset and your daily functioning.

Your first session is a chance for you to feel comfortable, heard, and understood. We’ll talk through what’s bringing you in, your goals, and what you hope to get out of therapy. I’ll guide the conversation with questions while giving you space to share at your own pace. Together, we’ll begin outlining a plan that supports your needs. My goal is for you to leave feeling supported and confident in moving forward.
