The most important focus from day one, is for us to build a solid therapeutic alliance, so we can go at problems and celebrate achievements as a team. I am here to tell you that thankfully there is nothing new under the sun and virtually no problem that does not have a solution. And yet most people, myself included, often believe that if we only try harder our problems will improve. Effort is important. However, In actuality we are often operating on long held ideas or beliefs that may have been useful before, they just no longer serve us now. Let's be open. Reevaluating our beliefs is much easier if you have an ally. That's me.

You’re often the one who handles things. You show up for work, relationships, responsibilities. On the outside, you look steady. On the inside, though, anxiety might feel louder than it used to. Stress lingers. Old patterns resurface. Maybe you’re tired of carrying it alone.
Many adults come to therapy feeling capable but stretched thin — navigating anxiety, relationship stress, substance use concerns, burnout, or life transitions. Some are rebuilding after difficult chapters. Others are simply ready to understand themselves more deeply and move forward with intention.

It’s hard to heal in spaces where you don’t feel fully seen. You deserve a space where your identities and experiences are actually understood. Therapy can be a space where all of you is honored, a place where you are truly heard, respected, and welcomed just as you are. Reaching out for support can be vulnerable, and I strive to create an environment where you feel safe to show up fully, without fear of judgment. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with nearly a decade of experience working in the mental health field across outpatient, school, and hospital settings.

My clinical experience began in general private practice, and I later moved on to develop a more specialized treatment approach through an internship with The Center for OCD and Anxiety in August 2020. From there, I transitioned into my roles as Associate Therapist, Intake Manager, and Caregiver Support Group Leader until February 2024. As I believe that effective therapy includes an appropriate balance of empathy, humor, active listening, and proper guidance rooted in evidence-based practices, I utilize an eclectic mix of therapeutic modalities (listed below) to tailor treatment according to the specific needs of each individual.
