I believe that the counseling process is based on a collaborative relationship between the counselor and client. I see our counseling relationship as one in which you are in charge of setting your own goals and I am privileged to companion you through that process. My approach to therapy is a holistic one: we will discuss your goals from many perspectives and examine the effects on your body, mind, spirit, relationships, work, and any other areas that are important to you. I draw from cognitive-behavioral therapy and solution-focused theories of counseling. I work with adults individually and as couples. I am a trained TFCBT therapist and help children and families deal with trauma. I help clients explore the life moments where they feel “stuck” in their journey. Some of the symptoms that show up with the “stuck” feeling are panic, anxiety, and depression. Your decision to choose to enter counseling is a voluntary one and you may terminate it at any time. If at some point ethical standards dictate it is in your best interest to refer you to another therapist, I will do so. If this happens I would provide you with names of professionals to contact. It is impossible to guarantee any specific results regarding your counseling goals, but we will work together to achieve the best results possible. At the end of our first session we will decide if we want to enter a counseling relationship. I will respond to message typically one time per day Monday - Saturday. This will occur typically after 5:00 p.m. EST.

When working with me, you can expect a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you are truly heard and understood. 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."
