I work with adults, older adolescents, and families with the privilege of working with diverse populations facing a wide range of issues in various clinical settings. My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based practices. I believe in creating a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Whether you’re grappling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or simply seeking personal growth, I am here to support you on your journey. Whether you have a single goal to work on, or a life plan to develop, I can guide you one step at a time.
I utilize various therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-based approaches, and strengths-based interventions, tailoring our sessions to best meet your unique needs. Together, we will work to uncover strengths, develop coping strategies, and foster resilience to live a more fulfilling life.
I understand that seeking therapy can be a courageous step, and I am committed to providing compassionate and effective care. Your well-being is my priority, and I look forward to supporting you as you navigate challenges, gain insight, and discover your path towards healing and personal growth.
