Great to meet you!

I provide individual therapy services to teens starting at the age of 13 and adults up to age 55. I help individuals manage various challenges, including low self-esteem, depression, behavioral issues, anxiety, grief, and more. I employ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Strength-Based Therapy to assist clients in identifying what they are feeling, understand why they feel it and choose how to respond in a healthy way.

My approach to therapy

I am firm believer that in order to heal you have to feel! I support individuals in navigating life’s emotional ups and downs. My approach focuses on helping you find balance—not by avoiding difficult emotions, but by learning how to understand, manage, and move through them with confidence and clarity.

What you can expect from me

During your first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and create a comfortable, judgment-free space where you can be yourself. We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, your current concerns, and what you hope to gain from counseling.
