I believe that a trusting and nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship is the foundation of meaningful change.
My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and supportive space where clients can freely explore their thoughts and emotions.
I bring a genuine and compassionate presence to each session, meeting clients where they are and helping them move toward growth and healing.
I view every person as a unique individual, understanding that true well-being involves all aspects of life—the physical, mental, emotional, relational, societal, cultural, and spiritual.
As a mother of two teenagers, I appreciate the challenges and transitions of childhood, adolescence, and family life, which enriches my ability to support children, teens, and families.
My background as a School Counselor in a large public school system provides insight into navigating academic pressures and accessing in-school and community supports.
I work with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults addressing anxiety, stress management, depression, ADHD, substance use, self-esteem, and relationships.
My therapeutic approach is integrative and collaborative, drawing from humanistic, cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and strengths-based frameworks while incorporating play therapy, mindfulness, music, art, and nature-based practices.
