Are your thoughts constantly racing, imagining worst-case scenarios, or leaving you feeling mentally exhausted? Do you find yourself burned out at work, overwhelmed by daily stress, or emotionally drained from depression, grief or loss? If so, you’re not alone-and you don’t have to figure it out alone either. I offer a blend of therapy and coaching to support adults who are ready to quiet the noise in their minds, find emotional balance, and reconnect with their goals. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, catastrophizing thoughts, low mood, grief, or just feeling stuck, I create a supportive and structured space for healing.
My approach is focused on integrating coaching services seemingly with counseling services. In doing so, I use evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectual Behavioral Therapy(DBT), Acceptance Therapy (ACT), and Somatic therapy, Trauma focused therapy, and Solution Focused therapy.
My mission is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered to process their stories. I help individuals navigate life’s most difficult challenges and guide them toward a place of healing, growth, and transformation. Whether you’re working through anxiety, emotional distress, grief, trauma, or major life transitions.
