About me

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor dedicated to using both insight and action to help clients better understand themselves while also equipping them with practical tools to navigate life more effectively. I have experience working with adolescents (ages 13+), teens, adults, and couples, supporting clients through concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief and loss, and burnout.

My Philosophy of Counseling: I believe therapy is most effective when it is a collaborative and supportive process between client and therapist. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable exploring their experiences, emotions, and challenges. I view each person through a holistic lens, recognizing the importance of the connection between mental, emotional, and relational well-being. Together, we work toward meaningful change that aligns with each client’s values, goals, and unique life circumstances.

My Theoretical Orientation: My approach to therapy is integrative, drawing from a variety of evidence-based modalities to best meet the needs of each individual or couple. I tailor my work to the client, incorporating techniques that support insight, emotional awareness, and practical skill-building. I focus on helping clients identify their strengths, develop healthy boundaries, and build effective coping strategies that promote balance and resilience in their daily lives.

​Beliefs on Change & Clinical Approach: I believe that change begins with self-awareness and is strengthened through a supportive therapeutic relationship. I work with clients to identify a starting point for growth while honoring their readiness and pace. Together, we establish personalized treatment goals and take practical, manageable steps toward progress.
