I bring a blend of professional training and real-world perspective to my work with clients. What drew me to counseling was a deep curiosity about people—and a genuine desire to help others feel heard, understood, and empowered in their lives. I’ve supported individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, major life transitions, and challenges tied to mental health diagnoses. I approach each person with compassion, curiosity, and deep respect for their unique path. My style is collaborative and rooted in evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and positive psychology. I also believe therapy should feel like a safe, welcoming space—where you can be yourself, unpack what’s not working, and explore new ways to grow and thrive. Clients often tell me they feel at ease in our work together, and that’s something I truly value. I believe in building real, trusting connections—and walking alongside people as they gain clarity, find their voice, and build more meaningful, fulfilling lives.
