I primarily focus on supporting women, helping them navigate issues like depression, anxiety, and life transitions. My approach is tailored to your unique needs, as I believe in the power of personalized, evidence-based therapy to foster growth and healing. I lead with empathy, always striving to create a therapeutic relationship built on trust and mutual respect, where we can work together to help you reach your goals at your own pace. My path to becoming a mental health provider started with a deep desire to help people. I've always been drawn to understanding others and providing support, which naturally led me to pursue a career in therapy. I've worked in diverse settings, from a university counseling center, where I supported college students through academic and personal challenges, to a community mental health clinic, where I worked with individuals facing mental health and substance use disorders. These experiences allowed me to connect with people from all walks of life, diagnoses, and ages, deepening my understanding and compassion for the struggles they face. What drives me most is seeing the progress my clients make. I’m incredibly proud of the results they achieve. My goal has always been to empower people to grow, heal, and thrive, and that’s what continues to inspire me every day."
