Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling and years of experience supporting individuals, families, and children. I specialize in treating anxiety, mood disorders, and substance use concerns, as well as providing court-ordered and juvenile justice evaluations. My approach is warm, supportive, and collaborative, helping clients develop coping skills and achieve meaningful growth. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can heal, build confidence, and reach their personal goals.

My approach to therapy

My approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on helping clients understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. Together, we identify unhelpful thinking patterns, develop healthier coping skills, and create practical strategies for positive change. I aim to provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients can build resilience, gain insight, and feel empowered to reach their personal goals.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to leave sessions with practical coping strategies, greater self-awareness, and tools to manage stress, anxiety, and everyday challenges. My goal is for each client to feel supported, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their life. Over time, clients often gain confidence in navigating their emotions, improving relationships, and achieving personal growth.
