Managed by Geode Health. Your call or email may go to a representative.
My focus is to provide a supportive space where individuals feel seen, understood, and empowered to navigate life’s challenges. Personal life experiences have shaped my deep sense of empathy and reinforced my belief in the importance of compassionate, nonjudgmental care. I strive to build strong therapeutic relationships grounded in trust, respect, and collaboration, helping clients feel safe as they work toward healing and growth.
I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress (PTSD), and the emotional effects of domestic and emotional abuse. My approach is client-centered and evidence-based, with an emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize unhelpful thought patterns, strengthen coping skills, and create lasting change.
Treatment is always individualized, meeting each person where they are while supporting resilience, emotional balance, and meaningful progress toward personal goals.
