I’m a licensed clinical mental health counselor who believes therapy should feel safe, honest, and genuinely supportive—not clinical, stiff, or judgmental. I work with clients who feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck carrying things they’ve had to manage on their own for a long time. Many of the people I work with have experienced anxiety, trauma, complicated family dynamics, relationship stress, or long-standing patterns rooted in earlier life experiences.
My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and on meeting clients where they are. I don’t believe in pushing clients too fast, and I don’t believe therapy should feel like you’re being analyzed or “fixed.” Instead, I focus on creating a space where you can show up as you are—even when things feel messy, confusing, or hard to explain.
If you’re looking for a therapist who is supportive, honest, and deeply invested in helping you feel more grounded and understood—without judgment or pressure—I may be a good fit.

I use a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and Solution-Focused approaches, tailoring each session to what my clients need most in the moment. Some days that looks like building coping skills or challenging unhelpful thoughts, and other days it means doing deeper trauma work.
