I am a licensed professional counselor with a doctoral degree in Counseling and Psychological Studies. I work with clients navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal conflict, and addiction. My approach blends evidence-based practices, including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trauma-informed care, and person-centered counseling, while incorporating a holistic perspective. I’m passionate about creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel truly heard. I draw on both my clinical training and personal experiences to support clients in building resilience, developing coping strategies, and finding meaningful personal growth.

Therapist

As a licensed professional counselor I provide clients with a safe space to share their concerns, struggles, or challenges. I believe the therapeutic relationship should be collaborative and built on warmth and trust. Together we will work to identify issues, past and present, with the goal of stability, healing and empowerment. Offering a holistic perspective, I specialize in perinatal and postpartum mental health, trauma and addiction (i.e. substance/alcohol abuse/dependency).

Other areas of practice include working with the LBGTQ+ community and parents and children. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, or trauma to infertility, relationships, or simply struggling to manage daily stress or recent change, I can help utilizing a strength-based and client-centered approach with treatment tailored to one’s unique needs

While this process may be challenging at times my hope is that in session you will find a non-judgmental space where your experience will be heard and you will leave feeling seen, supported, and more at ease. I look forward to working with you. Let the journey begin.
