Great to meet you!

I am a licensed mental health professional trained to support your emotional health and well-being. My role is to listen, help you feel understood, and work with you on goals that matter to you. Our work is confidential, respectful, and judgment-free. I follow professional and ethical standards and am here to support your growth, safety, and healing at your pace.

My approach to therapy

I used a client centered approach therapy. A client-centered approach to therapy means the focus is on you. Your experiences, feelings, and goals guide the work. The therapist listens without judgment, respects your choices, and supports you in finding your own answers, strengths, and path toward growth and healing.

What you can expect from me

In your first counseling session, we’ll talk about what brought you in and what you’d like help with. You can ask questions and share at your own pace. We’ll review confidentiality, paperwork, and what therapy can look like. The goal is for you to feel comfortable, heard, and supported.
