I’m a dedicated counseling professional committed to helping individuals and families improve emotional well-being and relationships. With advanced training in mental and behavioral health, I support clients facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. My approach is empathetic, collaborative, and evidence-based, creating a safe space for growth, resilience, and meaningful change.

I was drawn to mental health counseling because I've seen how profoundly people can change when they feel safe, seen, and supported. Therapy was a space where I began to understand myself in a deeper way, and that experience stayed with me. It inspired me to walk alongside others as they navigate their own challenges. My approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. I listen, ask the right questions, and help you build tools and insight to move forward in a way that feels right for you. I use cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and EMDR to help you process unhealthy thoughts and become more aware of your emotions without being overwhelmed. We'll begin by talking about what brings you to therapy and what you're hoping to work on. Whether your goals are clear or still taking shape, we'll define what progress might look like for you. I may ask about different areas of your life to get a fuller picture of who you are and how I can help. This is a safe space where you can be your authentic self.

A Safe Space for Healing, Even When Words Aren’t Enough Virtual therapy shouldn't feel like a chore—it should feel like a relief. As a "chameleon" clinician, I adapt my energy to meet your child exactly where they are. Whether they are shut down or acting out in fear, I create a non-judgmental space where even the "scariest" emotions are welcome. I specialize in working with children and teens navigating the aftermath of physical and sexual abuse. I know that trauma often looks like anger or violence; I see that as a cry for safety, not a "bad kid." My Tools: Art & Play Therapy: I use my own healing journey as a bridge. The art you see behind me was my voice when I suppressed my own pain for years. I help kids use creativity to speak when words feel impossible. Mindfulness & CBT: We work on grounding the body and reclaiming control over "big" thoughts and reactions. Our Partnership: Healing from trauma is a team effort. I don’t just work with your child; I partner with you to turn our sessions into a roadmap for safety and peace at home. Let’s work together to help your child find their voice and heal their inner self.
