I know that starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel heard, respected, and accepted without judgment. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where we can work together to better understand the challenges you're facing and build the tools you need to move forward with confidence.

I earned my Master's degree in Psychology from William Carey College and have more than 20 years of experience working in community mental health, inpatient settings, and private practice. I work with adolescents and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, conflict resolution, infidelity, and the effects of domestic abuse. I also have experience supporting individuals coping with PTSD and prolonged grief.

I believe therapy is most effective when it is collaborative, individualized, and built on a foundation of trust. My role is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable exploring your thoughts, emotions, and experiences while working toward meaningful change.

I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. I also integrate Person-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Positive Psychology, and strengths-based interventions based on each client’s unique needs and goals. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor treatment to what works best for you.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, or a major life transition, we’ll work together to build practical coping skills, increase self-awareness, strengthen resilience, and create lasting change that extends beyond our sessions.

I understand that beginning therapy can feel intimidating, and being vulnerable with someone you've just met isn't easy. During our first session, my priority is helping you feel comfortable, safe, and heard. There is no pressure to share everything at once—we will move at a pace that feels right for you.

We'll spend time getting to know each other, discussing what brings you to therapy, exploring your current concerns, and talking about what you hope to gain from our work together. I'll also ask questions about your background, relationships, and other areas of your life so I can better understand your experiences and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

By the end of our first session, my hope is that you'll have a better understanding of how I work, feel supported and respected, and leave with a sense that you're not facing your challenges alone. Together, we'll begin building a path toward the goals that matter most to you.
