If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from the life you want, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Many of my clients come to me wanting genuine support and real tools—not judgment, not clinical walls. They want a therapist who understands them, sees their strengths, and helps them create meaningful change. If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place. I work with individuals who want a counselor who is empathetic, authentic, and truly invested in their wellbeing. My clients often struggle with anxiety, depression, identity concerns, family trauma, or life transitions that leave them unsure of their next steps.
My approach is client-centered and relationship-focused—I aim to offer genuine care, unconditional positive regard, and a space where you can feel seen and supported. Together, we’ll work on practical skills, cognitive and behavioral strategies, and new perspectives that open the door to change. I support clients in identifying barriers, building resilience,
I bring warmth, honesty, and hope into each session, and my goal is for you to leave feeling supported, understood, and empowered to move forward. If you’re ready for compassionate support and a collaborative partner in your healing, I’d be honored to work with you. Reach out today to schedule a consultation and see if we’re the right fit.

I often use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy with a Person-centered framework in my practice. During our consultation we will explore what brought you to therapy and tailor counseling to your needs. With DBT, we'll look at barriers and causes of emotional distress. During treatment, we will work together to gain tools and skills to overcome those barriers and promote healthy functioning.
