M.S., NCC, LAPC
Mental Health Therapist
Populations served: Children, Teens, Adults
If you’re ready to embark on a personal journey of self-discovery, I’m here to support you every step of the way. For me, being a therapist is about more than just providing support; it’s about encouraging and empowering each client’s as they navigate challenges and discover their strength in a safe, non-judgmental space. I am passionate about fostering a therapeutic relationship that allows clients to uncover their true selves. Watching this process unfold is one of the most rewarding aspects of my work.
I approach therapy with a foundation in evidence-based practices, primarily using a person-centered approach. I integrate a variety of modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Play Therapy. My goal is to tailor each session to the individual’s unique needs, creating a holistic and personalized approach to therapy. I am committed to bringing a caring, warm, and authentic presence into each session.
I work with a diverse range of clients, from adults and young adults to children ages 8 and up. In our sessions, I emphasize that we are working together, and while I am the therapist, you are the expert on your life. I strive to create a safe and curious space from the moment you walk through the door, where we can build a therapeutic relationship based on mutual respect and understanding.
My style is flexible and client-led, encouraging the client to guide the direction of our sessions. I firmly believe in the power of a client-centered approach and often remind my clients that they are in the driver’s seat throughout the process. I approach therapy with young adults with an understanding of how life’s transitions and challenges can feel overwhelming during this stage of life. I’m on my own journey of self-discovery, and I believe it’s important to humanize the therapeutic experience.
In my free time, I love to unwind by playing video games, exploring nature, and traveling to different national parks with my family. I’m an animal lover with a warm heart, and I enjoy incorporating humor into sessions when appropriate. If you’re ready to embark on your own journey of self-discovery, I’m here to support you every step of the way. Feel free to contact my office to schedule an appointment.
