As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I specialize in working with children, teens, and young adults navigating challenges such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, school stress, and behavioral issues. Using a blend of client-centered therapy, CBT, ACT, trauma-informed care, creative arts, and play therapy techniques, I tailor my approach to meet each client’s unique needs. I also work closely with families to help children and teens build emotional awareness, learn effective coping strategies, and develop lifelong habits for mental and emotional wellness.
Together, we’ll explore your background, set meaningful goals, and determine the best therapeutic path forward. Clients often tell me they value my genuine and authentic presence. I don’t just listen—I actively engage, reflect, and collaborate with you whether you’re laughing, crying, venting, or celebrating growth, therapy with me is a space to be yourself.
I am deeply passionate about this work and the lasting impact it can have. No matter how long we work together—weeks, months, or years—you’ll leave each session with a new tool, insight, or perspective to help you navigate life with greater confidence and resilience.
