“Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking”.
– Marcus Aurelius
I believe deeply in the inherent potential within each person. Every individual possesses unique strengths, resilience, and the capacity for growth, and my goal is to help you uncover and harness these qualities. Through a collaborative and compassionate approach, we will work together to address the challenges you face, overcome barriers, and move toward your personal goals. I am committed to supporting you in developing new skills, gaining insight, and creating lasting change that aligns with your values and aspirations.
With extensive experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, ages, and life circumstances, I honor and respect your individual story and the complexities that shape your experiences. I have worked with children aged 10 and older, teens, and adults who are navigating a variety of concerns—including trauma, substance misuse, family or relationship conflicts, and justice involvement. No matter your background or life situation, I am dedicated to creating a safe, accepting space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered.
My therapeutic approach is strengths-based, client-centered, and focused on behavioral change. I believe in meeting you where you are and tailoring strategies that resonate with your unique needs and goals. I emphasize creating practical tools and fostering new perspectives that support positive growth and development. Whether you’re seeking to improve relationships, manage difficult emotions, or address specific challenges, I am here to guide you through that process with energy, enthusiasm, and a genuine belief in your worth and potential.
I am passionate about helping others realize their fullest selves. Everyone can benefit from therapy—regardless of where they are in life or what they are facing—and I see it as a privilege to be part of your healing journey. My hope is to collaborate with you in a way that encourages you to embrace vulnerability, build resilience, and develop the confidence to live authentically. Together, we will work towards creating a life where your most genuine self can flourish, and you can move forward with hope, clarity, and empowerment.
