Going to therapy doesn't mean something is wrong or broken about you.
You might be coming to therapy feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure where to start. Maybe you’re grieving a loss, experiencing a major life transition, struggling with anxiety or depression, or trying to improve your relationships. Whatever brings you here, I'm glad you're looking for help. That's not an easy thing to do.
I work with couples and individuals who are working through identity development, anxiety, depression, family dynamics, and life changes. Many of my clients are balancing multiple roles, expectations, and societal pressures.

As a mental health therapist, I believe that growth begins with feeling heard, seen, and accepted exactly as you are. My approach to therapy is rooted in compassion, collaboration, and respect for each individual’s unique journey. I view therapy as a safe and supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions without judgment, and where growth can take place at a pace that feels right for them. My work is informed by a blend of evidence-based practices and a person-centered approach. I draw from modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care.

Life can feel exhausting, with the weight of past experiences, future choices, relationships, expectations, work pressures, financial struggles, health issues, and even basic tasks like eating, sleeping, and staying active.

As your counselor, my intention is to create a safe, supportive space for you to release what feels heavy, process pain, and embrace the complexities of being human. Together, we’ll reconnect with your authentic self, and foster healing, and growth.
