(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC)
When you walk into therapy with me, you’re stepping into a space where your needs come first and healing can happen.
Imagine feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by depression, or haunted by past trauma or grief. I know how challenging that can be, and I’m here to help guide you through it. My journey into counseling began with a deep desire to support individuals who are struggling, just like you. I’m passionate about creating a space where healing can happen—one that is compassionate, personalized, and effective. I believe in an integrated approach that blends evidence-based therapies—like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT),Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy(ACT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and a Client-Centered approach. I’ve worked with individuals experiencing everything from anxiety to PTSD to grief, and I’ve seen how powerful it is when we work together to explore and confront these challenges. It’s not always easy, but I’m here to support you every step of the way. Whether we’re addressing deep-rooted trauma or navigating the ups and downs of daily life, I will tailor our work together to suit your needs. I’m here, ready to walk with you, offering the compassion, understanding, and practical strategies that will help you heal and grow.
