I am far from a “blank slate” therapist! You deserve more out of session than head nods and blank stares. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes. I’ve been in the field for over 12 years and have worked in outpatient, medical, and correctional settings. My therapeutic approach is strength-based and client-centered. I use evidence-based treatment modalities including Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT).
Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, feeling stuck in a relationship, facing a major life transition, adjusting to parenthood, navigating difficult family dynamics, or simply sensing that something feels “off,” I’m here to help. I work with clients to find greater balance and clarity in their lives.
I offer a safe, non-judgmental space that is gently challenging, full of warmth, compassion, and humor. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes.
