My Approach

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor dedicated to supporting individuals through life’s challenges with compassion, collaboration, and evidence-based care. I specialize in working with clients experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, PMDD, relationship concerns, women’s issues, sexual health concerns, and life transitions.

My approach to therapy is integrative, person-centered, and strengths-affirming. I believe that each person brings unique resilience and wisdom into the therapeutic process, and my role is to help create a safe, supportive space where healing and growth can occur. I work collaboratively with clients to understand their experiences, develop insight, and build practical tools for meaningful change.

I draw from several evidence-based modalities, including EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). This flexible approach allows me to tailor therapy to each client’s individual needs and goals.

I strive to provide a warm, accepting environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. Whether someone is working through past trauma, navigating a major life transition, or seeking greater emotional balance and connection in their relationships, my goal is to support them in moving toward greater wellbeing, self-understanding, and fulfillment.
