As a therapist, my personal experiences, combined with work in schools and as a first responder, have deepened my understanding of the profound impact of trauma and stress. This understanding ignites my passion to create a space where others feel seen, supported, and empowered to navigate challenges and move towards healing and growth.
I am a licensed professional counselor who works with individuals looking for support, clarity, and a way to move forward. Life can feel overwhelming—especially when past experiences, trauma, anxiety, or stress affect how you see yourself and your future. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported as we work through those challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, and direct, and I believe therapy works best when it feels like a true partnership. I use a blend of CBT, EMDR, and person-centered therapy to help clients process trauma, understand patterns, and develop practical tools.
In our work together, we will focus on both understanding your experiences and building a clear path forward. I enjoy helping clients recognize their strengths, build confidence, and take manageable steps toward the life they want.
I provide telehealth therapy, offering flexible and accessible support for individuals who are ready to heal, grow, and move forward.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Individual therapy, also known as Individual therapy, allows people to engage in private sessions with a skilled therapist, counselor, or psychologist. The core objective of individual therapy is to establish a secure and confidential setting where you can openly discuss whatever emotional, psychological, or behavioral challenges you face. Through these one-on-one sessions, the client and therapist work together to delve into, comprehend, and ultimately find solutions for the issues at hand in their life.
Individual therapy unfolds in a structured process, commencing with an initial assessment in which the therapist gathers essential information about your history, concerns, and objectives. Together, you and your therapist collaboratively establish specific, attainable goals for your sessions, which can encompass symptom alleviation, personal development, or finding solutions to particular challenges.
