I am a masters-level clinician seeking my LMHC with 2 years of experience supporting clients through anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life challenges. I work primarily with children and adolescents ages 8–18 and strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to be themselves. My approach is grounded in person-centered principles, emphasizing trust, empathy, and a strong therapeutic relationship.

I earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Cambridge College. My work is influenced by humanistic and relational approaches, drawing inspiration from practitioners who emphasize unconditional positive regard, reflective listening, and gentle redirection to help clients explore their emotions and experiences.

I invite you to begin therapy in a space where you are seen, valued, and supported. Together, we will focus on your goals, strengths, and personal growth rather than labels or diagnoses. You are more than what you’re struggling with, and I’m here to help you better understand yourself and build skills for a healthier, more confident future.
