What drew me to counseling was a deep curiosity about people and a desire to make sure they feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported. I bring both professional training and real-world perspective to my work, which helps me connect with clients in a way that feels both grounded and approachable. Over the years, I’ve supported individuals working through anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, major life transitions, and the challenges that come with mental health diagnoses. I approach each person with compassion, curiosity, and deep respect for their story, believing that no two paths are the same. My style is collaborative and flexible, rooted in evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and positive psychology. But beyond the techniques, I believe therapy works best when it feels like a safe, welcoming space where you can show up as yourself, unpack what’s heavy, and explore new ways to grow. Clients often tell me they feel comfortable and at ease in our sessions, which is something I value greatly. Building genuine, trusting connections is at the heart of what I do. My hope is to walk alongside you as you gain clarity, strengthen your voice, and create a life that feels more meaningful and fulfilling.
