About Me

 

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (practicing psychotherapy since 2022 with prior experience in HR and Coaching) who focuses on creating a space where you don’t have to filter yourself or “get it right.” If your thoughts feel all over the place, if you don’t know where to start, or if part of you is unsure this will even help—that’s okay. We’ll figure it out together.

I work with individuals navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, occupational stress, identity questions, relationship matters (kink and polyamory friendly), and feeling stuck in patterns that aren’t working anymore.

​

I also have experience working with more complex emotional and personality-related concerns, including Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD). A lot of my clients are used to holding it all together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, reactive, or exhausted on the inside—and are ready for something to actually shift.

​

My style is supportive but real. I’m here to listen, but also to help you understand what’s going on beneath the surface and start making changes that feel meaningful—not just temporary — via skills that go beyond breathwork.

​

I hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and am currently pursuing a second Master’s in Applied Psychology, which reflects my commitment to continuing to grow and deepen the way I support my clients.

​

Outside of therapy, I’m into houseplants, video games, and spending time with my dogs—which mostly just means I understand the need for both structure and an escape sometimes.

​

My Approach to Therapy

My approach is collaborative, practical, and rooted in progress—not perfection.

I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which means we’ll look at how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are all connected—and more importantly, how to shift the ones that aren’t working for you anymore.

​

I’m not the type of therapist who just nods silently while you spiral (unless that’s what you need in the moment). I’ll ask questions, offer perspective, gently challenge patterns, and help you build real-life skills you can actually use outside of session.

​

At the same time, I care a lot about creating a space that feels safe and non-judgmental. You can be honest here—even about the messy, contradictory, or uncomfortable stuff. Especially that stuff.

What to Expect

 

Your first session is about getting to know you—without pressure.

​

We’ll talk through what brought you to therapy, what’s been weighing on you, and what you’re hoping might change. If you’re not totally sure what your goals are yet, that’s completely okay—we’ll figure that out together.

​

You can expect a mix of conversation and gentle structure. I will ask some questions about your background, current stressors, and patterns you’ve noticed, but this isn’t an interrogation—it’s a starting point.

​

Most importantly, you can expect to feel heard. My goal in that first session is for you to leave thinking, “Okay... I can take a breath now and I can just be myself.”
