I am here to help. Life can be hard, and starting therapy can feel overwhelming. Figuring out who to see, what to say, and where to start can feel like a lot, especially when you’re already anxious, stuck, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained. I work with adults, teens, and couples navigating anxiety, depression, relationship issues, burnout, low self-esteem, emotional regulation, substance use, life transitions, and the stress of feeling misunderstood or overwhelmed.
I also help clients work through communication issues, codependency, co-parenting, blended family stress, and other relationship concerns. I became a counselor because I understand what it feels like to need support during difficult seasons of life, and I’m passionate about walking alongside others in their healing and growth.
My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and not judged while also being compassionately challenged toward growth and healing. I use a person-centered approach and incorporate CBT, DBT, and solution-focused techniques to help clients build practical coping skills, improve communication, and move toward meaningful change.

I take a holistic, integrated approach to therapy that considers the full picture of who you are, not just the challenges bringing you in. Together, we can explore patterns, build healthier coping skills, strengthen self-awareness, and work toward balanced relationships and meaningful growth. My goal is to offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel understood and empowered.
