About me
I am a compassionate, non-judgmental counselor helping you navigate anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationships with practical, evidence-based care.
I am an experienced and compassionate counselor dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and confidence. I have worked extensively with clients facing anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship concerns, and I strive to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and understood.
My approach to therapy is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from evidence-based practices including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and person-centered therapy. Together, we will explore patterns, build practical skills, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.
I genuinely care about each of my clients and am committed to supporting you to the best of my ability throughout your journey.
Outside of my work, I enjoy reading and embrace my inner “nerd,” while also making time to stay physically active and balanced in my own life.
