I have over 12 years of experience as a clinical therapist, supporting individuals navigating everything from quiet struggles with anxiety to the weight of depression, self-doubt, and past pain. My passion for therapy stems from my professional education as well as my own experiences of personal growth, giving me insight into the invisible burdens many carry. I believe in creating a compassionate, judgment-free space where you can feel truly seen, heard, and supported. Therapy is more than treating symptoms; it is about rediscovering who you are and finding authentic ways to thrive.

Clients describe my style as warm, engaging, and down-to-earth. I strive to blend evidence-based strategies with real-life application, ensuring that healing feels personal and purposeful. Outside of therapy, I enjoy journaling, faith-based reflection, creative projects, and long walks in nature, all of which inspire and inform my therapeutic approach. Growth can happen in the everyday moments, and I would be honored to support you in your journey toward healing and self-discovery.
