Navigating life's challenges can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to face them alone. I specialize in assisting individuals embrace their mental health journey with compassion and resilience. Whether you're struggling with stress, anxiety, or self-doubt, together we can explore strategies to foster self-compassion and build lasting resilience. With a background in psychology from George Mason University and advanced studies at Grand Canyon University, I have developed a client-centered approach that emphasizes reducing stigma and promoting acceptance of therapy and self-care.

I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where individuals, couples, and teens can explore their thoughts and feelings. Utilizing an integrative approach, I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic, person-centered, solution-focused, and motivational interviewing techniques to tailor treatment to each client's unique needs.

My approach is centered in empathy and collaboration, aiming to empower you with the insights and tools necessary to cultivate a fulfilling and balanced life. Whether you're navigating emotional hurdles or seeking deeper self-understanding, I'm committed to supporting you every step of the way. Let's begin this transformative journey together.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is something I frequently employ in my work. We will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy in your first session and choose the best course of action to move forward with. We'll examine how your beliefs impact your feelings and experiences using cognitive behavioral therapy. I'll teach you strategies to counter negative beliefs throughout treatment.
