I'm a holistic, psychodynamic therapist committed to creating space for clients to show up authentically. I believe each person is complex and multifaceted, and capable of growth and healing. As your therapist, I will sit with you in big feelings, hard truths, moments of clarity, and pockets of joy and laughter. My style is relational, meaning that I value connecting with clients on a deep, human level to help you cultivate insight and understanding. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, identity exploration, or just feeling stuck, my goal is to help you better understand yourself while building lasting change.

I am a licensed professional counselor dedicated to helping patients ages 15 and up take charge of their mental health. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), prioritizing building meaningful therapeutic relationships that result in effective change. My approach is built on strong rapport, multiculturalism, and unconditional positive regard. A key belief that guides my understanding is that all people are deserving of an opportunity to heal. With this philosophy in mind over the years, I have helped patients manage distressing thoughts that impact social and occupational life, improve self-esteem and positive self-talk, practice new communication strategies to improve relationships, and reduce urges and cravings to promote recovery. While in my care, you can expect a structured and inviting environment that utilizes unconditional positive regard and cognitive restructuring to enhance your mental well-being. This could be internal, like self-esteem, negative thinking patterns, or mood instability. Or external, like social relationships, occupational anxieties, or family dynamics. No matter the focus, I believe in building trust as a core component to therapy. This helps cultivate an environment conducive to positive change. I value getting to know you on a deeper level to ensure a strong therapeutic relationship. Counseling theories are important, but what is most important to me is that you feel seen and heard in each session.

Do you ever feel like your brain won't let something go? Maybe you overthink every decision, replay conversations long after they've happened, procrastinate until you're overwhelmed, or find yourself stuck in routines and habits that you know aren't helping but can't seem to change. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. Through WellQor, I provide online therapy for college students and young adults, and WellQor accepts most major insurance plans to help make care more accessible. I enjoy working with students who feel trapped in cycles of anxiety, perfectionism, self-criticism, intrusive thoughts, or other patterns that interfere with their ability to enjoy life and reach their goals. One thing I've learned after more than a decade as a therapist is that lasting change is rarely about trying harder. More often, it's about understanding why a pattern exists in the first place and learning new ways to respond to it. Therapy can help you step out of autopilot, build confidence in yourself, and make choices that align with the life you want to create. If you're tired of feeling stuck in the same loops and are ready to try something different, I'd love to help you take that next step.
