    Specializes in ADHD, Anger Issues +7 more
    Life gets overwhelming—work, relationships, and just trying to keep it all together. I offer a supportive space to unpack everyday stress and build healthier ways of coping because mental health is just part of being human. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to reframe unhelpful thought patterns and strengths-based practice to recognize the invisible strengths my clients have a hard time seeing when life is throwing them challenge after challenge. Therapy with me is both reflective and action-oriented; you’ll gain insight, but you’ll also leave with tools.

I work with people navigating anxiety, relationship stress, and life transitions using a warm, collaborative, and direct approach—with room for laughter, real talk, and deep reflection. I believe healing happens through connection and that therapy should feel like a conversation, not an interrogation. You're the expert on your life. I'm here to walk alongside you, help connect the dots, and support change on your own terms.

    I bring a down-to-earth, approachable presence to therapy and place the utmost importance on fostering a warm and friendly, yet professional relationship with you. Since there is no "one-size-fits-all" approach to therapy, I incorporate various evidence-based treatment modalities, techniques, and skills that may best meet your individual needs. Developing a strong therapeutic alliance is the foundation that will support you as we explore pathways toward your healing, develop adaptive and functional coping skills, improve your emotional regulation, and help you experience a fulfilling life, rather than just exist.

    I focus on anxiety, attachment issues, self-worth, and trauma. In our sessions, I integrate CBT, EMDR, Inner Child work, Parts Work, and Reality Therapy to help you reach your goals.

My hope is that by understanding how your past shapes your present and influences your future, you’ll be able to heal and move forward.

    My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, authenticity, empowerment, and unconditional positive regard as the foundation for healing and growth. I work with individuals, couples, Veterans, women, people of color, and members of the LGBTQ+ community navigating both visible and invisible challenges. I believe human suffering often stems from disconnection—from ourselves, others, or a sense of purpose. My work focuses on helping clients restore those connections through compassion, communication, and emotional attunement.
