Biography

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience working with children, teens, young adults, and families. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate challenges such as anxiety, ADHD, depression, emotional regulation difficulties, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each client’s unique needs. I use evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), play-based techniques, and skills focused on building coping strategies and emotional awareness. With younger clients, therapy often incorporates play, creativity, and interactive activities, while sessions with teens and young adults focus on conversation, insight, and practical skill-building. I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, understood, and supported. I also value parent involvement and regularly partner with caregivers to provide guidance, insight, and tools that can be used outside of sessions. My goal is to help clients build confidence, strengthen emotional skills, and feel more equipped to handle life’s challenges.
