Great to meet you!

I am a compassionate professional committed to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges in various stages of life. My approach is client-centered, where I work collaboratively with you to understand your unique experiences, goals, and strengths.

I have over 10 years of experiences working with children and families navigating the foster care system and well as individuals overcoming acute psychiatric distress in the inpateint setting.

I work with a range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I am particularly passionate about helping clients build resilience, develop healthier coping strategies, and gain deeper self-awareness.

Whether you are seeking support during a difficult time or looking to make positive changes in your life, I am here to support you in building a fulfilling life one where you can experience happiness, a sense of contentment, and confidence in who you are.

My approach to therapy

I believe that growth happens when we feel both supported and gently pushed to explore new perspectives. My goal is to help you feel empowered, improve your self-esteem, and develop a strong sense of self-worth.

I draw from evidence-based practices to ensure that the support I provide is both effective and tailored to your needs. My work is grounded in empathy, respect, and a nonjudgmental perspective, creating an environment where you can feel heard, understood, and valued.

What you can expect from me

You can anticipate your first session with me to be a welcoming, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can begin to share their story at their own pace.

During this initial session, we will talk about what brings you in, any current challenges you may be facing, and what you hope to gain from therapy. I will ask thoughtful questions to better understand your experiences, background, and goals, while also giving you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the process.

Together, we will begin identifying initial goals and what meaningful progress might look like for you. I take a collaborative approach, so you can expect to be actively involved in shaping the direction of our work.
