Life can feel overwhelming at times, and reaching out for support is not always easy. My goal is to create a warm, welcoming space where you can feel comfortable being yourself, sharing what is on your mind, and knowing that you will be met with compassion, understanding, and respect.
I enjoy working with clients across the lifespan, with a particular passion for supporting children and adolescents. I also welcome adults who may be navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, stress, or other challenges. Whether I am working with a child, teenager, or adult, I believe every person deserves to feel heard, valued, and supported.
I earned my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and have experience working with individuals experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavioral challenges, low self-esteem, trauma-related concerns, and life transitions. I understand that every client is different, so I strive to meet each person where they are rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
My counseling style is warm, collaborative, and encouraging. I primarily draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, build healthy coping skills, recognize their strengths, and work toward meaningful change at a pace that feels comfortable for them.
I believe counseling should be a place where you can slow down, feel heard, and know that you do not have to have everything figured out before you walk through the door. Whether you are looking for support for yourself or searching for someone to walk alongside your child or teenager, I would be honored to be part of that journey.
