My pragmatic approach is based on the belief that each client is unique and deserves to be treated as such. I believe that clients can gain agency via self-awareness and knowledge.

I encourage my clients to find their own strength throughout therapy, while also guiding them along a secure route of introspection. It is my life's mission to encourage others to recognize their inherent worth and live life to the fullest. Having helped people of all ages and walks of life, I am well-versed in the diagnosis and treatment of addiction, mood, anxiety, and adjustment disorders.

Let's face it... Shift happens! We all experience moments, events, and situations that seem to knock us off our center such as marriage, divorce, pregnancy, parenthood, loss, career transitions, becoming an adult, health diagnosis, and retirement... to name a few! When these shifts happen, we desperately wish our responsibilities would pause for a minute while we find our footing, but they don’t. We must keep working, loving, and living through it all! But you do not have to do it alone! I am dedicated to helping my clients release self-judgment, learn how to regulate their nervous system, and free themselves from old ways of existing to access the strength and inner resolve needed to live each day in prosperity. My approach is gentle, yet honest, utilizing a combination of cognitive and somatic therapies. I view each client through a humanistic and multicultural lens. When I'm not in session you can find me running behind my 4-year-old or enjoying a good meal with friends!

I lead off a cognitive behavioral therapeutic (CBT) approach. This approach supports my passion for helping others overcome negative thoughts (beliefs), patterns, and/or behaviors. My ultimate goal is to create a sound therapeutic relationship that will help each client reach their full potential and level of wholeness. My journey to becoming an LPC began after receiving my master's degree in psychology in 2012 while working in corporate America. I left my then-salaried position in 2013 to pursue a position with a mental health rehabilitation clinic, which led me to pursue my clinical mental health counseling degree and put me on the path to licensure.
