Great to meet you!

As a licensed clinical professional counselor with over 5 years of experience, I am deeply committed to guiding individuals on their unique journeys toward personal growth and healing. I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients—teens 18+ and adults 21+ to senior years (70+). I believe that every individual, regardless of their life stage, has the potential for meaningful change, and my service is open to clients across this age range. I am your person if you need support, understanding, growth, and coping strategies. I will help you overcome, empower you, and help you heal.

I utilize a variety of evidence-based therapeutic modalities, thoughtfully tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. My expertise includes DBT, CBT, Client Centered, and CPT & More. I am effective at helping clients identify and transform negative thought patterns to enhance emotional well-being and help clients with emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. I am experienced with supporting and empowering clients in discovering their intrinsic motivation to foster positive changes. I also specialize in Solution-Focused Therapy because sometimes it's not a long process to find a solution. We can concentrate on solutions and future goals, empowering clients to move forward rather than dwell on past issues.

Throughout my career, I have successfully assisted clients facing a variety of challenges, including depression, anger, stress, PTSD, anxiety, traumatic experiences, ADHD, abuse, low self-esteem, to name a few. I understand that seeking therapy is a significant step, and I want you to know that I am here to provide a compassionate, understanding, and supportive environment. Together, we will navigate your challenges, and I will stand by your side. Remember, you are not alone in this process—change is not only possible, but I am dedicated to helping you achieve it.

My approach to therapy

I utilize a variety of evidence-based therapeutic modalities, tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. I use integrative therapy with a foundation in CBT.
