Find Your Counselor

I believe that healing happens in a safe, compassionate space where your story is heard without judgment. As a therapist, I see you as the expert of your own experience — my role is not to ‘fix you,’ but to walk alongside you, offering tools, perspective, and encouragement as you navigate life’s challenges. I work with individuals who are moving through trauma, anxiety, major life transitions, questions of self-identity, and the impact of societal pressures. My practice is rooted in respect for each person’s unique journey, and I am proudly LGBTQIA+ affirming.

In our work together, I often draw on Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), a powerful approach that helps people process and heal from distressing memories without having to re-live every detail. I also integrate other evidence-based methods tailored to your needs, always keeping our sessions collaborative and client-centered. If you’re ready to explore, heal, and grow at your own pace, I’m here to offer a safe space where you can feel supported and truly seen.

My approach to therapy is caring, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I use different styles of therapy depending on your needs, but at the heart of it, I believe healing happens in a safe, supportive relationship. I often work with people who are feeling anxious, going through relationship struggles, dealing with low self-esteem, navigating big life changes, or figuring out what it means to be highly sensitive or neurodivergent. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns that once helped them cope but no longer feel useful. Together, we gently explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion.

People often describe me as calm, present, and easy to talk to. At the same time, I stay actively involved in sessions. I believe real growth usually means stepping a little outside your comfort zone, and my role is to support you in stretching just enough to foster change, without overwhelming your system. My hope is that therapy with me feels like a space where you can bring your whole self and know that you’ll be met with care and respect. Outside of the therapy room, I’m also pursuing my PhD in Counseling Psychology. My research looks at how we adjust during big life transitions, including culture shock, finding belonging, and how our sense of self can shift during these times.

I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with seven years of experience in psychiatry and medication management. I've had the privilege of helping individuals of all ages and backgrounds overcome a variety of mental health challenges, from depression and anxiety to more complex conditions like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Throughout my career, I've become increasingly passionate about the importance of accessible mental health care.

I firmly believe that everyone should have access to high-quality mental health services, regardless of their age, socioeconomic status, or lifestyle. Unfortunately, many barriers to care still prevent people from getting the help they need, such as long wait times, limited insurance coverage, and stigmatization. That's why I've made it my mission to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that is accessible and inclusive to all. Whether you're struggling with a mental health issue for the first time or have been living with a condition for years, I'm here to help.

My approach is collaborative and tailored to each individual's unique needs and goals, and I always strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where my clients can feel heard and supported.
