About

Life is a rollercoaster of emotions, events, and unexpected twists. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe space where you can fully express yourself and start on the journey toward your true authentic self. I work collaboratively with you to cultivate a nonjudgmental, empathetic environment where you feel seen, heard, and supported. Using a strengths-based approach, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. I aim to equip you with the tools and coping skills necessary to thrive through psychoeducation and ongoing support. My approach is straightforward with full transparency.

My clinical experience includes addressing depression, grief and loss (including death, the end of relationships, and major life transitions), and trauma. Also, I am proudly a part of the first responder family and know the struggles that come with the job.
