Change is possible — not by fixing others, but by strengthening your voice, your boundaries, and your sense of self. This perspective shapes my work with clients: I help people step into their own agency, interrupt generational patterns, and build relationships that feel healthier and more aligned with who they are becoming.
I blend evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a holistic, trauma-informed lens. This means we look at the whole picture—mind, body, and past experiences. We will also incorporate mindfulness practices to help you stay grounded in the present moment.
Your intake session is a collaborative roadmap. We will look at exactly where you are right now and map out where you want to be in the future. I provide a safe, secure space for you to be vulnerable so we can figure out the best way to achieve your goals. Ultimately, my main focus is to empower you to thrive.

If you're seeking therapy for anxiety or depression, your sessions will typically focus on understanding your feelings, identifying triggers, and developing practical strategies for managing symptoms. Other life transitions, career stress, or major changes can be addressed in therapy by helping you process emotions, clarify values, and set actionable steps toward adjustment.

I typically start with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy but also use other techniques. Once we have figured out what brought you into therapy, I explain the options that are most beneficial for your unique situation. For example, with CBT, you can learn how to redirect your thoughts in order to change how you feel. I'll explain the options and then you can choose what you feel would be most beneficial
