About me

I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) with a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and build meaningful change.

I have experience working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, and emotional regulation difficulties. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, and strengths-based approaches to help you develop practical coping skills, gain insight, and move toward your goals.

I believe that therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and I work with you at your pace to foster growth, resilience, and self-awareness. Whether you are going through a difficult time or simply seeking personal development, I am here to support you.

I look forward to working with you on your journey toward healing and well-being.
