I work with adults who are experiencing these struggles and want to create meaningful change in their lives. I use a combination of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Emotional Freedom Technique.
I believe the most important part of therapy is building a strong, trusting relationship with my clients, where you feel truly heard, understood, and supported. Through this connection, we can work together to explore coping strategies, address the root of your challenges, and help you regain a sense of balance and well-being.

What sets my practice apart is my commitment to making therapy a positive, enjoyable experience whenever possible. I understand how challenging it can be to seek help, as I’ve been in your shoes before. My own journey as a client has fueled my passion for supporting others, and I aim to make your path to healing both effective and even a little fun.
