I believe therapy should be a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can show up exactly as you are. My approach is warm, collaborative, and person-centered, with a touch of humor when appropriate. I value genuine connections and strive to create an environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. As a full-time working mom of two, I understand firsthand the challenges of balancing work, family, relationships, and personal well-being. Life can feel overwhelming, and it's easy to put yourself last. I bring both professional experience and personal understanding to my work, recognizing that everyone's journey is unique. I primarily utilize Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), incorporating mindfulness and strengths-based techniques tailored to your individual needs. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. You are the expert on your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you as we navigate challenges, recognize strengths, and develop practical coping strategies. Outside of the therapy room, you'll often find me curled up with a good book, exploring my creative side through art and crafting, or spending time with my many pets! I'm a huge animal lover and enjoy sharing my passion for animals through my pet-themed social media page. I believe in finding joy in the little things, embracing creativity, and making time for what fills your cup.
