Taking the first step toward counseling can be daunting and requires great courage. Many people fear judgment, the uncertainty of the process, or the vulnerability that comes with opening up. Breaking the stigma surrounding mental health can feel overwhelming, but seeking support is a powerful step toward healing, growth, and self-awareness. Mental health is a lifelong journey, and building emotional resilience is essential at every stage of life. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel empowered to explore their thoughts and emotions without fear.
Together, we will set meaningful goals, navigate challenges, and develop practical therapeutic tools to foster positive change. I take a person-centered approach to therapy, providing an empathetic and nonjudgmental environment where clients can process their experiences at their own pace.
This approach is rooted in the belief that everyone has the innate capacity for healing and personal growth when supported in the right way. In each session, you will be met with unconditional positive regard, empathy, and authenticity, ensuring a space where you feel truly heard, valued, and supported. Contact me to schedule a session today.

I use evidence-based approaches to support healing and growth. CBT helps reframe negative thoughts, while DBT builds emotional regulation skills. Person-Centered Therapy fosters self-discovery, and trauma-focused methods aid in processing past wounds. IFS promotes inner balance, and behavioral strategies help with habits and coping. Together, we'll find the best approach for your needs.
