I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes therapy works best when it feels safe, genuine, and collaborative. I take a warm, down-to-earth approach and focus on really getting to know each person beyond their symptoms or diagnosis. My work is grounded in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), but I also believe that real change happens through honest conversation, trust, and practical support. I help clients better understand their thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors while building skills they can actually use in daily life. Whether someone is navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, or feeling stuck in a life transition, my goal is to meet them where they are, reduce shame, and support them in moving toward a more balanced, meaningful, and authentic life.
Additional areas of focus: Communication problems, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Isolation / loneliness, Life purpose, Self-love
