Counseling is one way to discover how to live authentically and get in touch with the most genuine version of yourself. During sessions, I value openness, hope, and flexibility, focusing on what you want to achieve with your time.

I utilize person-centered therapy, and draw specific techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I’ve worked with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, communication, self-esteem, women’s issues, neurodivergence (like ADHD and Autism), as well as 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.
