I believe that therapy can be beneficial to most people during this journey we call life. There are various obstacles and challenges that can make it difficult, and at times very overwhelming for us to deal with. You are not alone! Many individuals that I have worked with over the years find it comforting to be able to confide in someone kind, empathetic, and objective; who can work collaboratively toward their goals. You are an expert in your life, so it's important to note that therapy is a collaborative experience where we work toward your identified goals.

It's time to embark on a transformative journey towards a healthier mind and fulfilling life. If you are stuck in a rut, feeling overwhelmed, grappling with low self-esteem, or when your actions do not align with your values, you may feel like you lost your spark. Especially when the coping mechanisms that used to help you no longer serve their purpose. It is tough to find meaning in your life when you are surrounded by struggles and it feels like nobody truly understands what you are going through. Enter your new therapist, ready to assist you in reaching your goals and transforming from mere survival to genuine thriving.

My passion for counseling stems from wanting to help each person learn to achieve their “Best Life”, using a person-centered approach with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I strongly believe that each person “Lives what they know” and sometimes may struggle to change without help, and I want to help each person effect that change within their lives. I offer clients deep empathic listening, nonjudgmental acceptance, and therapeutic genuineness. My goal as a therapist is to create a comfortable, collaborative relationship with my clients, and provide a safe place to help each client evaluate their concerns.

I believe all clients possess the solutions to their problems. Therapy is a place to discover these solutions and find new ways of thinking, behaving, and feeling. Working from a systemic and insight-oriented perspective, I help clients achieve a better sense of awareness that can alter behavior and functioning. As a client-focused therapist, I strongly value the therapeutic relationship. Whether the focus is to alleviate current stress or understand life-long issues, I provide a safe, supportive, and compassionate space that allows us to develop a collaborative relationship to work towards achieving the goals of the client.

Sometimes you just need someone to listen—without input, without advice or opinions. You need a safe space to let out your emotions or escape the pressures the world can put on you; a place just for you. Therapy can be that space. Counseling is all about you. I work with individuals of all ages, and specialize in collaborating with those in their teens, young adulthood, and adulthood. Clients are provided with a space where they can express their personal problems or concerns, gain the necessary tools and skill sets to assist in resolving their own issues, and foster their own self-awareness.

Each person has a unique life experience; the challenges they face and strengths they draw from are wholly their own. My aim as a therapist is to help clients see things from a new perspective, and tap into their strengths and resilience to meet their goals. I see each client as a person, rather than a diagnosis, and try to meet them where they are at in life’s journey. Together, we collaborate to form a person-centered treatment plan that reflects the client’s needs and goals.

Currently accepting new virtual and in-person clients. Life can be overwhelming, and we all need support at times. Therapy can be one tool in navigating challenges, improving relationships and strengthening your self-awareness. I'm grateful for the opportunity to provide a safe and nonjudgemental space for clients to process their struggles and explore their potential. I have experience working with adolescents, college students and adults on issues of trauma, anxiety and depression. I enjoy empowering clients through transitional life phases such as adjusting to college, navigating relational or career changes and becoming parents.

I have experience working with trauma, women's issues, ADHD, mood disorders, anxiety, and behavioral disorders such as ODD.
The foundation of my approach to counseling resides primarily in person-centered theory where the client is the driving force for change. Since every client is their own unique human being, I may also incorporate a variety of theoretical approaches from Cognitive Behavioral Theory, Solution-focused theory, the tenets of mindful awareness, and spirituality. My greatest experience so far lies in working with children, adolescents, and young adults, creating environments where they can feel safe and empowered.
