Reaching out for support is a courageous first step, and my goal is to provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Registered Art Therapist (ATR) with 16 years of experience in the mental health field, including 13 years providing therapy. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress, trauma, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and other emotional concerns.
My therapeutic approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs. While I frequently utilize CBT, I take an eclectic approach, drawing from a variety of evidence-based techniques to meet you where you are and support your individual goals. I also integrate creative and expressive interventions through art therapy to help clients explore needs.
I believe healing happens within a trusting therapeutic relationship. Whether you're looking to develop healthier coping skills, gain insight, or create meaningful change in your life, I am committed to working alongside you with empathy, authenticity, and practical support.
