Making the decision to start therapy is a powerful step toward healing. As a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor (LAPC) pursuing licensure, I work alongside a clinical supervisor to provide compassionate, evidence-based care. My approach focuses on creating a space where you can feel safe to be authentic, open, and supported as we explore your experiences together.
I help individuals who are ready to better understand themselves, manage overwhelming emotions, and make meaningful changes in their lives. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or substance use, we’ll work together to identify patterns, build healthy coping skills, and foster resilience.
If you’re curious about starting therapy, I’d love to connect. Feel free to reach out, ask any questions, or schedule a consult call using the phone number or email on my profile.
