Great to meet you!

I am a licensed professional counselor dedicated to helping teens, adults, and couples access their inner strengths and effect change in their personal lives. I value being of service to others - a passion that stems from my commitment to empowering motivated individuals to develop healthy coping skills, express their needs, and resolve issues to achieve happiness and self-actualization.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach combines evidence-based methods, including cognitive-behavioral, somatic, trauma, and emotion-focused theories, to address each client's unique needs. By integrating these modalities, I support clients in building self-awareness, processing difficult emotions, and fostering resilience. Together, we work toward meaningful change and empowerment, tailoring each session to create a safe and supportive environment for exploration and transformation.

What you can expect from our first session

I prioritize fostering an emotionally safe and collaborative environment for my clients. My approach is rooted in empathy and active listening, allowing me to deeply understand my clients’ experiences and build a genuine therapeutic connection. By tailoring sessions to each individual’s needs, I aim to empower clients to navigate challenges, explore their inner strengths, and achieve personal growth.
