Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who works with teens (13+) and adults through life’s changes and challenges. My ideal client is navigating life challenges, breakups, divorce, grief, or major life transitions while balancing everyday responsibilities. While I do not see couples or families together, I do support individuals navigating relationship and family issues. I support clients who may feel overwhelmed, overthink decisions, struggle with mood or sleep, or feel uncertain about their next steps. Individuals who want clarity, emotional stability, healthier patterns, and practical tools to move forward with confidence. Ultimately, those that are seeking growth, peace, and a stronger sense of self.

My approach to therapy

My style is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I create a safe space where you can share your story and explore new ways to grow. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, ACT, EFT, and Solution-Focused Therapy, tailoring each session to your needs. Together, we focus on building clarity, resilience, and meaningful change in your life.

What you can expect from me

You can expect a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and supported. We’ll work on building self-awareness, coping skills, and confidence to handle life’s challenges. My goal is for you to leave each session with more clarity, practical tools, and a sense of hope for what’s ahead.
