Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinician with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University’s CACREP-accredited program. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered, Solution-Focused, and Humanistic modalities to help clients navigate concerns with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and life transitions.

My approach to therapy

I strive to create a supportive and collaborative space by incorporating empathy, warmth, humor, and authenticity into my work. I deeply value the trust my clients place in me and am committed to helping them achieve meaningful, lasting growth.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a warm, safe, and supportive environment during our first session. We’ll start with introductions and explore what brings you to therapy, including any concerns or challenges you’d like to address. Together, we’ll begin identifying areas of focus, clarify your goals, and outline an initial plan to support your progress. This session is also an opportunity for you to ask questions and get a sense of how we might work together moving forward.
