Life has its challenges, doesn't it? If you're struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, or a major life transition, I'm here to help. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Clinical Professional Counselor, I specialize in supporting adults through these issues, as well as grief, relationship problems, and trauma. I use a personalized approach, pulling from evidence-based practices like CBT, mindfulness, and EMDR to meet you exactly where you are. My goal is to create a safe space for us to work together towards your personal growth and well-being.
My integrative approach draws from evidence-based practices such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centered techniques, mindfulness, and EMDR, tailored to meet you where you are.
I’m passionate about helping clients rediscover purpose, joy, and functionality. Witnessing your growth and resilience is what drives me. Let’s work together to explore your concerns and create practical solutions for a more full life.
