I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over a decade of experience working with adolescents and adults with a wide range of needs. I have worked with diverse populations struggling with anxiety, depression relationship issues, work/life stress, life transitions, and trauma. Your story is uniquely your own and requires a tailored approach to helping you reach your individual goals. I believe in meeting my clients where they are to best help them navigate life’s complex challenges. With an empathic and compassionate approach, I will bring my expertise in therapy to collaboratively find the relief and balance that you seek.
My approach utilizes evidence-based therapies, such as CBT and DBT, is client-centered, and solution-focused. I am highly trained in treating the spectrum of anxiety disorders through cognitive and behavioral methods. I am also passionate about supporting pregnant/postpartum women and all new parents navigate the personal challenges of parenthood.
I am committed to creating a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. Together, we will work to manage distressing emotions and thoughts, reduce stress, and promote change through discovering your inner strengths.
