I am a good listener, and emphatic, nonjudgmental provider. I truly care about my patients and will go the extra mile to make sure they are properly cared for.
Depression can leave you feeling emotionally flat—like you’re moving through life on autopilot, disconnected from joy and unsure how to find your way back to yourself. Anxiety often walks hand in hand with it, keeping your nervous system on high alert, while past trauma quietly informs how safe you feel in your own body. These layers can be hard to untangle alone. What drew me to this work—and continues to inspire me—is the brain’s capacity to adapt and heal. Neuroplasticity reminds us that change isn’t just possible; it’s how we’re built.
In therapy, I aim to help you achieve your goal—to improve, grow, or overcome challenges. Together, we'll identify your desired outcomes and develop a personalized plan backed by effective research.
I became a therapist because I am passionate about helping people gain independence and take control of their lives. My goal is to create a supportive and non-judgmental space where clients feel empowered to explore their challenges and move toward meaningful change. I approach therapy with warmth and collaboration, aiming to guide clients through difficult emotions and experiences.
Depression, anxiety, or struggles with substance use can affect how you see yourself and how you move through daily life. You may feel caught in patterns that are difficult to change, worn down by what you have been carrying, or unsure how to begin feeling more in control. I believe emotional well-being is an important part of healing, especially when you have experienced pain, loss, or other difficult circumstances. Therapy can help you better understand what is behind your struggles, develop healthier ways of coping, and work toward changes that feel meaningful in your life.
My therapy approach is present-focused, strengths-based, and change-oriented. We'll explore the difficulties you're experiencing and how they're affecting you, build on your strengths and what works well for you, and work toward meaningful changes that will bring you more fulfillment, joy, and confidence. My therapy style is client-led and non-directive, meaning I don't come to sessions with a set agenda. Instead, our sessions center around what feels most important to you to address each time we meet. I enjoy working with people from all walks of life, and I'm here to help you face your challenges and make meaningful changes that lead to greater well-being.
I chose a career in mental health care because I have seen firsthand the profound impact that treatment can have—not just on individuals, but also on their families and communities. I am inspired by the opportunity to help clients overcome challenges, achieve their goals, and become the best version of themselves. My approach is holistic, incorporating both medication management and non-pharmacological strategies to provide comprehensive care tailored to each person’s unique needs.
In my practice, I provide individual and family therapy that blends holistic principles and evidence-based practices with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Specializing in trauma recovery, I work with my clients to create a warm, supportive, and safe space in which to rebuild self-esteem and confidence in survivors, helping them reclaim ownership of the self.
