Now accepting new clients for both in-person and virtual sessions. Struggling is a natural part of life, but it’s not something you have to face alone. Mental health challenges can affect many areas of life, including school, work, relationships, and family dynamics. In therapy, we will work together to create a personalized treatment plan that supports your goals and helps you build meaningful, lasting change. My approach is eclectic and tailored to each client, drawing from evidence-based practices including CBT, DBT, and ACT to provide practical tools and long-term growth.
As a fully licensed psychotherapist, I bring both experience and fresh training to my work. I’ve been working in the mental health field since 2013 and completed my graduate training in 2021, allowing me to combine years of clinical experience with up-to-date research and modern, evidence-based treatment approaches.
I’ve seen firsthand the meaningful change that can happen when someone begins their healing journey. My goal is to support you in gaining insight, building confidence, and moving toward your full potential. If you’d like to learn more, feel free to reach out to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. I’d be happy to connect and see how I can support you.
