I believe one of the best parts of counseling is finding new ways to live authentically and discover who you were made to be. As Carl Jung said, “The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” In our sessions, I aim to keep it real with openness, hope, and flexibility, focusing on what you want to achieve.

I specialize in Person-Centered therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I’ve worked with folks dealing with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, women’s issues, neurodivergence (like ADHD and Autism), as well as those tricky life transitions.

I love building genuine connections and creating a calm space where we can talk about the ups and downs of life. I’m all about being non-judgmental and caring for everyone who walks through my door. I ground each session in the present moment while also understanding the background that each person comes from.

Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT)
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Person-Centered

I often base my treatment in CBT. With CBT we can take a look at any unhelpful or distorted thoughts that you may be experiencing and find ways to challenge and reframe those thoughts to help you find more thriving in your daily life. I also use ACT to provide various coping skills while moving towards your strengths and values.
