I enjoy working with clients seeking support through challenging times in their lives as well as combating mental health issues. My ideal client may be navigating issues related to adoption, depression/anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and much more. They may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about how to move forward, longing for clarity, healing, and a greater sense of control over their lives. Whether it’s building healthier relationships, managing stress, or finding meaning amidst change, my clients are often seeking a safe and affirming space to explore their emotions and set meaningful goals for their personal growth.
I specialize in evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Motivational Interviewing, tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. I work with individuals and couples, offering compassionate guidance to help identify patterns, build coping skills, and foster resilience.
Seeking support can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to face it alone. I aim to provide a warm and non-judgmental environment where you feel seen, heard, and understood. Whatever your story or struggles, I am here to walk alongside you as you move toward the life you want to build. If you’re ready to take the first step, I encourage you to reach out!
