Therapist

As a mental health counselor and certified professional coach, I focus on helping you move forward and create the life you truly want. With more than 15 years of experience supporting people from all walks of life, I’ve seen how powerful it can be when small, meaningful changes start to show up early in the process. When you can see progress within the first few weeks, it builds motivation and confidence to keep going.

Our work together will center on making those kinds of intentional, practical shifts—so the effort you put in feels directly connected to the changes you notice in your life. I see therapy as a tool to support your growth, not something that has to last forever. My goal is to help you feel more capable, clear, and confident to live life on your own terms, long after our time together.

Growth and change are lifelong journeys, and I’m here to help you take that next meaningful step forward.

Life can be a lot. Between juggling work, friends and family life, anxiety and sadness can sneak up on you. Therapy isn’t about lying on a couch while someone silently nods, it’s about having a real convo with someone who gets it. Together, we’ll work together out how to quiet the noise, boost your mental health, and build habits that make life feel less like survival mode and more like you actually living it. Life throws curveballs — and when we don’t fully process them, they can sneakily pile up as stress, anxiety, or that heavy feeling you just can’t shake. That’s where therapy comes in.

My mission is simple: create a space where you can express yourself, shake off the weight you’ve been carrying, and explore who you’ve been, who you are, and who you want to become. A safe zone for real talk and growth. EMDR (a way of helping your brain re-file old memories so they don’t keep hitting the panic button), systems theory, person centered theory.

Therapy with me isn’t about lying on a couch in awkward silence. It’s modern, collaborative, sometimes even a little fun — because growth doesn’t always have to feel heavy. I’m open-minded yet structured and here to make the process feel less like a chore and more like a genuine reset.

For insurances I do not accept: Out of network provider: 4 questions to ask insurance representative: Does your plan include "out-of-network" coverage for mental health? What is your annual deductible for mental health benefits? What is your co-insurance? (What percentage does the plan cover?) Is there a limit on sessions?
