My counseling approach is rooted in Rogerian theory, which serves as the foundation for building effective treatment options. I've received training in multiple therapeutic approaches and find great joy connecting with new people. Personally and professionally, I prioritize relationships, believing that trust is paramount.
Embarking on a journey of self-improvement can feel daunting and overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate it alone. With over 8 years of experience, I specialize in helping individuals overcome trauma and life's challenges by providing a safe, non-judgmental space for exploration and growth. My therapy approach is Strength-Based, focused on building resilience and empowering you to face difficulties head-on.
You’ve been holding a lot—navigating a world that isn’t always built with you in mind. Maybe you’ve learned to push through, even when it costs you, or to mask the parts of yourself that feel too vulnerable to show. The weight of loss, the daily realities of living in a body or mind that doesn’t fit society’s narrow expectations, or the exhaustion of constantly translating yourself for others can leave you feeling unseen. I believe your pain is real, your story is valid, and there is room for both the grief and the possibility that something different is possible.
With over 35 years of experience in mental health, I've journeyed from assisting hospitalized individuals with mental illness to providing psychotherapy for hundreds of clients.
I am dedicated to fostering a warm and nurturing relationship with my clients while shedding light along their path. The therapeutic process begins by inviting you into an environment that is safe to be vulnerable and welcoming, so that you may process where you find yourself in life, and where you wish to be.
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).
I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in working with individuals, couples, and families facing a wide range of challenges, from depression and anxiety to trauma and relationship issues.
For those grappling with the challenges of depression and anxiety during their formative years, there is hope and assistance available. Together, we weave Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy into a cohesive strategy tailored specifically to you. We cultivate a supportive environment that fosters growth and self-discovery by challenging negative thoughts, uncovering intrinsic motivations, and focusing on practical solutions. My mission is to guide my clients through the turbulent years of adolescence and young adulthood, empowering them to rewrite their narratives, transform struggles into strengths, and cultivate resilience and self-compassion.
