About My Clients
I have spent the past five years supporting teens and young adults through some of the most formative — and overwhelming — seasons of life. I work especially with college students and young adults navigating anxiety, identity shifts, relationship challenges, and emotional distress.
My Background and Approach
While tools and strategies are important, I believe meaningful change begins with connection. Therapy here is collaborative, and tailored to each client’s individual needs, not clinical or intimidating. My work is rooted in the belief that growth doesn’t happen through pressure , it happens through safety, trust, and steady support. I strive to create a space where you can show up honestly, without pressure to perform or pretend. I integrate evidence-based practices with a relational, person-centered lens. That means I focus not only on symptoms, but on understanding the deeper patterns, experiences, and emotions shaping your life. My goal is not to “fix” you, it’s to help you understand yourself more fully, build resilience, and move forward with clarity. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help you build real, practical tools — especially for managing anxiety, regulating emotions, and feeling more grounded in your daily life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe every person possesses inherent worth, dignity, and the capacity for growth. As a counselor, I view each individual as the expert of their own life, capable of insight, resilience, and meaningful change when provided with a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment. I believe in meeting clients with empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard. Healing occurs within the context of a trusting relationship, where individuals feel heard, respected, and empowered. I believe in honoring diversity in culture, identity, spirituality, and lived experience. I am committed to practicing cultural humility, advocating for equity, and recognizing the impact of systemic influences on mental health and well-being. Above all, I believe in hope—the belief that change is possible, that healing can occur, and that every person deserves the opportunity to live a meaningful and fulfilling life.
