About My Practice


As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, I help teens (14+) and adults gain clarity around the issues holding them back — whether it’s anxiety, depression, life transitions, or lingering self-doubt. Together, we’ll explore what’s contributing to your distress and develop practical, personalized strategies to help you move forward.

My work draws primarily from Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (M-CBT), Motivational Interviewing, family systems, and collaborative brief therapy. I believe that while our past shapes us, it does not have to define who we are or who we become.

I have a special interest in working with people in transition — from students stepping into adulthood to those navigating midlife shifts or later-life reflection. If you’re feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your goals or identity, therapy can be a place to reconnect with what matters most.

This is your time. You get to decide what comes next. I’m here to support you in building a more grounded, fulfilling life — one step, one conversation at a time.
