Licensed Mental Health Counselor

As a therapist, I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can safely explore their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. My specialty lies in helping individuals navigate emotional challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. I also work with those going through significant life transitions, whether it’s coping with grief, adjusting to a new phase of life, or managing stress from work and family.

My approach is integrative, meaning I draw from various therapeutic techniques depending on each client’s unique needs. I often use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and reframe negative thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or self-esteem issues. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, offering clients tools they can use in their daily lives to manage distress and promote healthier thinking patterns.

For clients dealing with trauma or deep-seated emotional wounds, I incorporate trauma-informed care and emotionally focused therapy (EFT). Trauma-informed care acknowledges the lasting effects of trauma on the brain and body, while EFT helps clients process emotions in a safe way, deepening their understanding of themselves and their emotional experiences. These approaches can be particularly helpful for clients struggling with unresolved trauma or attachment-related issues, as they focus on healing the emotional core of the problem.

I also focus on mindfulness and self-compassion practices, which are powerful tools for clients looking to manage stress, reduce anxiety, or improve emotional regulation. Teaching clients to be more present with their thoughts and emotions, without judgment, helps them cultivate a more balanced and compassionate relationship with themselves.

In terms of relationships, I help individuals and couples improve communication, rebuild trust, and foster deeper emotional intimacy. Whether it’s working through conflict or addressing patterns of disconnection, my goal is to facilitate healthier, more fulfilling connections.

What I offer is a tailored therapeutic journey that meets each client where they are. Some clients may need short-term therapy focused on specific goals like reducing anxiety or managing stress, while others may benefit from long-term support to explore deeper patterns and unresolved issues. I aim to create a collaborative relationship with my clients, where they feel empowered to actively engage in their own healing process.

Ultimately, my goal is to help clients gain clarity, develop effective coping strategies, and build a stronger sense of self. I am committed to guiding them through their struggles, helping them break free from patterns that are no longer serving them, and fostering emotional resilience so they can lead more fulfilling, meaningful lives.

I want my clients to know that I deeply understand how hard it can be to reach out for help, and I respect the courage it takes to take that first step. Therapy isn’t always easy it can bring up challenging emotions or difficult truths but I am here to walk alongside you, at your pace, every step of the way. My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and compassionate, and I’m committed to creating a space where you feel truly heard and seen.

I believe that everyone’s journey is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution to healing or personal growth. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply feel stuck in life, I am here to help you make sense of your experiences and uncover the path forward. You won’t have to go through this process alone. We’ll work together to develop new tools and insights that will empower you to face life’s challenges with greater resilience and confidence.

I also want you to know that therapy is not just about addressing problems it’s also about discovering strengths, building on what’s already working, and finding moments of hope and joy in the process. My goal is to help you live a more fulfilling, authentic life, one that aligns with your values and brings you a deeper sense of peace.

If you’re ready to take that step or even if you’re unsure but want to explore what’s possible, I invite you to reach out. Whether you’ve been in therapy before or this is your first time, I’m here to meet you where you are and provide the support you need. Together, we can create meaningful change.
