I’m a therapist who creates a space grounded in empathy, active listening, and unconditional positive regard. My integrative approach is tailored to your unique needs, experiences, and identity. I draw from tools like CBT, Nurture Play Structure, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and psychoeducation to help you explore your story, embrace your strengths, and work toward goals that feel authentic, empowering, and meaningful. Together, we build a collaborative path toward growth, insight, and lasting positive change.

I take a person-centered approach to counseling, which means I don't view individuals with mental health challenges as inherently flawed or as having problematic behaviors and thoughts that need fixing. Instead, I believe that everyone has the potential and desire for personal growth and positive change.

Therapy is a collaborative journey designed to help clients build self-awareness and discover new perspectives. I aim to create a safe, supportive space where you can share your story, reflect on how it has shaped you, and work together to create a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
