Hi! I’m a licensed counselor with a Master’s degree in Counseling, and I’m currently pursuing my Doctorate in Professional Counseling with a focus on trauma, grief, and loss. I support individuals working through a range of challenges, like anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, identity questions, and life transitions.

I aim to create a space where you can feel safe, heard, and truly understood. Therapy with me is about meeting you where you are, helping you process what’s heavy, and working together toward more clarity, confidence, and emotional well-being.

My approach to therapy is rooted in Natural Processing, which integrates mindfulness, somatic awareness, and EMDR to support holistic healing and emotional resilience. I’m intentional about creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel genuinely heard and understood. Through mindful presence and deep listening, I help clients process difficult emotions and experiences at their own pace, fostering greater self-awareness, relief, and personal growth.

Clients can expect to leave sessions feeling supported, heard, and more connected to themselves. I create a calm, nonjudgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace. Together, we work toward meaningful goals, such as developing healthier coping strategies, increasing emotional resilience, processing unresolved experiences, and gaining clarity in areas of life that feel stuck or overwhelming. My intention is to help you feel empowered, more grounded, and better equipped to navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence and self-awareness.
