There are many reasons that people decide to seek counseling. Everyone experiences change, loss, life transitions, and challenges at some time in their lives; however, navigating our thoughts and feelings can become overwhelming to try and address alone. Therapy can provide a supportive environment that is safe, nonjudgemental, and accepting.
I specialize in the areas of depression, anxiety, life adjustments, mood disorders, grief and loss, perinatal health, and relationship issues. Identifying strengths, increasing insight, and developing skills are incorporated during the counseling process to promote growth and well-being.
My approach to therapy is client centered and strength based. Through a collaborative process of support and encouragement, I believe that clients are empowered to be a part of their own growth and healing. I look forward to working with you on your personal journey.

- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Psychoeducational Therapy Provides education and coping tools about mental health conditions. It empowers clients with knowledge and practical skills.
Approach Description: Individual therapy provides guidance , validation, and support with the help of a trained and caring professional. The relationship and trust established during sessions are at the core of growth and change.
