Great to meet you!

I believe healing happens in the presence of compassion, authenticity, and genuine human connection. Therapy doesn’t have to feel cold or clinical—it can be a space where you feel understood, supported, and even able to laugh at times. I strive to create an environment where you can show up exactly as you are, knowing you’ll be met with empathy, curiosity, and respect. My approach is grounded in the belief that no one is “broken”—many of us are simply carrying experiences that were too heavy to hold alone.

My approach to therapy

My work is integrative and trauma-informed, drawing from EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and practical problem-solving strategies. I tailor therapy to you—your goals, your values, and your lived experience. Whether you’re seeking relief from overwhelming emotions, support through grief, or a stronger sense of self-worth, my goal is to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and connected—to yourself and to others.

What you can expect from me

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor–Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) and have been practicing since 2019. I love working with individuals navigating trauma, PTSD, grief, and self-esteem challenges. Trauma can shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world, but it does not have to define your future. Together, we’ll work at your pace to process what you’ve been through, strengthen your sense of safety, and reconnect with your inner resilience.

In our first session, we will thoroughly review your intake paperwork and collaborate on a treatment plan together, as well as explore your specific goals for therapy.

If you’re considering therapy, I invite you to reach out. You don’t have to have the “right” words or a clear plan—just a willingness to begin. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you take the next step toward healing and connection.
