As a compassionate and accepting therapist, I strive to create a safe and supportive space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered. Using a trauma-informed approach, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques to help individuals navigate life’s challenges, manage emotions, and break free from unhelpful patterns. My goal is to foster resilience, healing, and personal growth with empathy, warmth, and understanding.

I work with individuals whose brains never clock out and whose hearts carry more than they let on. If you find yourself lying awake at night replaying every interaction you’ve ever had (including that awkward thing you said in 2016)—or feeling everything all at once like it’s your full-time job—you’re not alone. Therapy can help you slow down, sort things out, and finally exhale.
In the private telehealth setting, with a nonjudgmental and compassionate approach, we can explore the sources of your stress, change destructive behaviors, and the root of thought patterns, relationship interactions, and overall life improvement together.
My work is rooted in the belief that every person has inherent worth and the potential for transformation.

By blending these techniques with a faith-based perspective, I aim to provide care that feels both practical and spiritually grounded.
