What should a new client know about working with you?
Many people move through life doing their best to cope, yet still feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted. Therapy can be a space to pause, reflect, and begin living with greater intention and clarity. I offer a supportive and grounded environment where healing can unfold gently and at a pace that feels right for you. My therapeutic style is warm, reflective, and client-centered. I strive to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment.
Together, we will work to understand patterns that may be keeping you stuck and develop tools that support resilience, emotional balance, and clarity. Therapy is not about fixing you. Therapy is viewed as a journey—one where each step, no matter how small, is part of your path toward healing, growth, and a more fulfilling life.
Beginning therapy can feel intimidating, but my goal is to make the process feel approachable and supportive from the very first session. Our work together will focus on building insight, developing coping strategies, and creating space for growth and healing. Progress doesn’t have to be rushed. Your journey matters.
I have 8 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor working with adolescents and adults. I'm also a Board Certified-TeleMental Health Provider with training in providing ethical online/virtual sessions.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I work with individuals who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, behavioral concerns, adjustment challenges, or the stress of everyday life. In our early sessions, we will explore what you're experiencing and work together to create a plan that supports growth and healing. Many clients notice increased clarity, improved coping skills, and emotional relief as therapy progresses.
I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and strengths-based approaches. In our first sessions, we'll explore what brings you to therapy and identify goals that feel meaningful to you. Together, we'll work on building insight, coping skills, and strategies that support growth and emotional well-being.
