Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or depression? Have you recently gone through a major life change like a divorce, the loss of a loved one, or a chronic illness diagnosis, and find yourself struggling to cope? Maybe you're carrying the weight of past trauma, or just trying to manage the stress of everyday life. These experiences can feel painful and isolating, especially when we haven't been taught how to navigate them. I believe that healing is possible when we have the right tools, support, and space to explore our inner strengths. My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and a deep respect for each client’s journey
I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, and work with individuals dealing with anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and chronic illness. I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental environment where you can feel safe, seen, and heard. I integrate evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, and mindfulness practices, tailoring our work to your needs.
Whether you are looking for a safe place to process your feelings, strategies and coping skills back by science, or simply want to feel more grounded in your life, I'm here to walk alongside you. You don’t have to go through this alone. Together, we’ll work to uncover your resilience and move toward a life that feels meaningful and aligned with your values.
