As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I am committed to providing a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment for my clients to explore their life challenges. I am here to validate your unique experience and work with you to find strategies that fit your life. I value the strength of the therapeutic relationship and believe it is the building block from which you can bring about positive change in your life. I use an integrative approach primarily rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), and solutions-focused techniques.
I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults experiencing anxiety, depression, interpersonal difficulties, and challenging life transitions. As a certified clinician with the National Institute for Digital Health & Wellness, I treat clients experiencing a dependency on technology that is negatively impacting their lives and relationships.
My favorite part of this work is connecting with my clients and supporting them through challenging times. We all need to be heard, be seen, and feel validated. I invite you to reach out and begin your journey of healing. You've already taken the hardest step!
