I have been working as a counselor for over eight years, helping teens and adults cope with anxiety, depression, stress, and the life transitions that can leave us feeling unsteady — whether that’s a career change, a relationship shift, or simply the accumulated weight of daily demands.

I believe that counseling works best when it feels approachable rather than daunting. I aim to make the process attainable by taking things one step at a time, helping you create manageable, meaningful changes that hold up in your daily life. My goal is to create an environment that is calm, empathic, and free of judgment, where you can speak honestly about what you’re facing and start building a clearer path forward. I think of the therapeutic relationship as a genuine partnership — you bring the expertise on your own life, and together we figure out what needs to change and how to get there.

I work primarily from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy perspective, starting from the idea that while we cannot change what has happened to us, we can change how we think and feel about it. That shift in perspective is often where real and lasting change begins. Depending on what you need, I may also bring in related techniques to make our work as useful as possible for your specific situation.

Taking that first step toward support takes courage. I look forward to meeting you.
