What’s weighing on you? What’s holding you back from the life you want? Struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or OCD can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone...I’m here to help.
Healing can happen when you feel safe, heard, and understood. This is your time to be honest about your fears, challenges, and hopes—without judgment. My approach is warm, supportive, and gently challenging because real growth comes from both safety and courage. I'll provide you with essential tools while, at the same time, offering encouragement and kindness. And, who knows, we might even share a laugh!
I specialize in evidence-based therapies, including exposure and response prevention (ERP), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). But more importantly, I tailor my approach to fit you—your story, your strengths, and your needs.
Over the years, I’ve worked in various settings, from inpatient and outpatient programs to faith-based counseling and private practice.
Addressing a problem or experience you’ve been avoiding takes courage. I am here to calmly accompany you, every step of the way.
