Clients report a lasting relationship
Nice to meet you
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and rooted in compassion. I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel seen, heard, and supported. I tailor each session to meet your unique needs, drawing from evidence-based practices like Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Faith-Based Counseling.
Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, perinatal/postpartum, or relationship challenges, I walk alongside you with curiosity and care—offering challenging tools that offer lasting growth. I see therapy as a good pair of shoes; it has to fit!
