I believe that healing starts with being truly seen, so I work to build a space where you can explore who you are without pressure or judgment.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 4 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through life's challenges. My clinical focus areas include addiction treatment, OCD, anxiety, and depression, conditions that can feel isolating, but which I've seen clients move through with the right support and consistency. I create a warm, collaborative space where clients feel seen and supported, not judged. My approach is tailored to each person, focusing on strengths, coping skills, and lasting change- not just symptom relief, but a deeper shift in how clients relate to themselves.
I use a person-centered, strengths-based approach to help clients build coping skills and lasting change. I create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel truly seen. As a twin, I bring unique insight to clients navigating twin-related identity and relationship dynamics.
It takes courage to begin therapy, and I believe everyone deserves a space to feel heard, understood, and empowered. In our work together, you can expect guidance, authenticity, and a safe space to grow at your own pace.

Yes, there are therapists who help with anger via Anger management therapy. It’s a therapeutic process that an individual goes through to manage their anger and identify its triggers. They’re given clear instructions on how to improve their angry behavior as well as a safe space for opening up about their emotions.
Once an individual’s triggers are identified, anger management therapy focuses on helping the individual process and respond to these emotions in a more positive and productive manner. The anger management therapist will provide coping strategies and ultimately help their client take back control of their anger.
The five keys to mastering anger include identifying triggers, pausing before reacting, calmly expressing emotions, discovering constructive outlets for frustration, and seeking professional assistance if necessary. Acquiring these skills through Anger management therapy empowers individuals to effectively manage and navigate their anger.
