About My Clients

Ideal clients are individuals navigating mood disorders, anxiety, or depression who seek a supportive, nonjudgmental space to heal and grow. They may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or isolated and are ready to explore their thoughts and emotions with guidance. These clients value a collaborative, compassionate approach and are open to building insight, resilience, and emotional well-being. Whether it's managing daily stress or working through deeper emotional pain, they’re seeking meaningful change.

My Background and Approach

With a background in special education, inpatient behavioral health, and hospice care, I bring a compassionate, well-rounded perspective to therapy. My person-centered approach emphasizes acceptance, emotional safety, and connection, drawing from acceptance and attachment-based therapies. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help shift unhelpful thought patterns and promote lasting mindset changes. Together, we’ll work toward healing, resilience, and self-understanding—at your pace, in your way.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am an ally of the LGBTQ community, and I believe that everyone should have a safe place to express and be themselves. I love animals, and support numerous nonprofits benefitting others in social emotional health in my community.
