Introduction

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC-A) with a strong foundation in psychology and counseling, and a deep commitment to helping people create positive change in their lives. I specialize in supporting adolescents, adults, and families who are dealing with anxiety, depression, emotional challenges, and major life transitions. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Experiential Therapy, I help clients build effective coping skills, deepen self-awareness, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. My goal is to create a supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients feel truly heard and empowered to move forward with clarity, confidence, and lasting growth.
