As a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC), I provide a safe, supportive space where clients of all ages can process challenges, gain clarity, and develop tools that work for their unique situation.

I specialize in working with adolescents, adults, and families who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, and emotional challenges. I provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients can feel heard and understood. Using a trauma-informed, person-centered approach with CBT and Solution-Focused Therapy.

I believe therapy is about more than symptom relief it’s about empowering you to reconnect with your strengths and build meaningful change. I will walk alongside you with compassion and practical guidance. Together, we’ll focus on building resilience, confidence, and a path forward that aligns with your healing, values, and goals.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Mindfulness-Based (MBCT)
Motivational Interviewing
Person-Centered
Solution Focused Brief (SFBT)

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
