About My Clients

I work with clients of all backgrounds, helping them navigate emotional challenges, life transitions, and relationship struggles.

My Background and Approach

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC, MA) and have been in private practice for three years. I am trained and certified in EMDR, and I also integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS) into my work to help clients better understand and heal the parts of themselves that may feel stuck. My graduate degree in Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Counseling gave me a strong foundation in mindfulness and spirituality, which I bring into sessions for clients who want to explore deeper meaning and connection. These approaches allow me to support clients in moving through anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions while building resilience, clarity, and self-compassion.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I strive to create a therapy space where everyone feels welcome and supported, no matter their identity, gender, or sexuality. Struggling with my own depression, anxiety, and self-esteem issues as a youth, I vowed to be a beacon of hope and transformation as I've overcome this. Outside of work, I’m a fitness and sports enthusiast, love international travel, and find meaning in exploring different spiritual traditions. My goal is to help clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to navigate life’s challenges and make meaningful changes.
