I offer therapy to adults, helping with challenges like academic struggles, career goals, anxiety, depression, trauma, and identity issues. I have worked with people dealing with various conditions like ADHD, BPD, and more. I believe in a holistic approach to counseling, which means focusing on all aspects of your well-being, including mental, emotional, and physical health, and helping you find purpose and fulfillment. I specialize in wellness, career counseling, identity development, and mindfulness. As a former collegiate athlete, I also have sports performance expertise.
I use a variety of counseling methods that focus on strengths and positive change, including Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These tools help clients reframe negative thoughts, manage emotions, and build healthier habits.
My approach is creating a space where you can feel comfortable being yourself without judgment. I believe in personal and professional growth and want to help you develop the skills you need to live your best life. Whether you’re looking for practical tools or just someone to talk to, I am here to listen and support you with care and understanding.
