Individual Counseling
I believe that everyone deserves to live a fulfilling, balanced life. As a licensed professional counselor and Certified Daring Way™ Practitioner, I provide a warm, non-judgmental space where we can work together to address your challenges and help you thrive.
How I Can Help You
When life feels overwhelming, you don't have to face it alone. I specialize in evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy to help you overcome:
Depression and anxiety that cloud your days and keep you from enjoying life
Stress and feelings of overwhelm that affect your physical and emotional wellbeing
Mood issues that interfere with your performance at work or school
Relationship challenges in dating, marriage, friendships, or with parents and siblings
Questions of purpose and meaning when life seems directionless
Grief and trauma that continue to impact your daily functioning
Self-doubt and imposter syndrome that hold you back from reaching your potential
My approach combines compassionate listening to identify patterns that no longer serve you and practical strategies to create lasting positive change.
My Approach
I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy and other evidence-based practices, I tailor my approach to your unique needs and goals. As a Certified Daring Way™ Practitioner, I incorporate Brené Brown's groundbreaking research on vulnerability, courage, and empathy into our work together. This powerful framework helps clients develop shame resilience, authentic connection, and wholehearted living — essential components for meaningful personal growth and healing.
Whether you're struggling with anxiety that keeps you up at night, relationship patterns that leave you feeling disconnected, or shame narratives that undermine your confidence, we'll work together to develop practical skills for everyday life. While self-help has its place, having a skilled partner in your corner makes the journey more manageable and effective. I provide that steady, supportive presence as you navigate life's difficulties. The clients I work with appreciate my direct yet compassionate approach. We'll celebrate your strengths while honestly addressing areas where growth is needed. Through our work together, you'll develop greater self-awareness, skills for emotional regulation and stress management, and the courage to show up authentically in your life.
