As a therapist with a specialization in eating disorders and a background in working at a partial residential treatment center, my approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, understanding, and evidence-based interventions. My therapeutic style is informed by a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), humanistic therapy, and gestalt therapy.
I create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, emotions, and concerns related to anxiety. Drawing from my extensive experience and training, I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities tailored to each individual's needs.

Becoming a mental health counselor was a natural evolution for me, driven by a profound desire to make a positive impact on people's lives. From an early age, I found fulfillment in offering support to those facing challenges, and as I navigated my own life experiences, I recognized the transformative power of empathy and understanding. This realization, coupled with a genuine passion for mental health, led me to pursue a career dedicated to helping individuals navigate the complexities of their emotional well-being. With a background in a partial residential treatment center and a specialization in anxiety, depression, body image, and self-harm, I am committed to providing a compassionate space for individuals on their journey to healing and self-discovery. Being a mental health counselor allows me to blend my innate empathy with evidence-based therapeutic approaches, empowering others to overcome obstacles and thrive in their mental health journeys.
I am an avid reader, constantly exploring new books and immersing myself in captivating stories and thought-provoking literature. Additionally, I am passionate about making art, whether it's painting, drawing, or engaging in other creative endeavors. Expressing myself through artistic expression allows me to tap into my creativity and serves as a therapeutic outlet for self-expression and exploration. Also spending quality time with my family is incredibly important to me.
Engaging in daily reading is my steadfast practice for nurturing my mental and emotional well-being. Immersing myself in the pages of captivating stories and thought-provoking literature allows me to escape into different worlds, gain new perspectives, and unwind from the stresses of daily life. This cherished ritual not only provides a welcome break but also serves as a source of inspiration, introspection, and personal growth. Whether delving into fiction, non-fiction, or poetry, the act of reading offers me a moment of calm and connection with myself, enhancing my overall sense of peace and fulfillment.
Recharging for me involves the joyous moments spent with my family, particularly the exhilarating experiences of taking them to Disney. The magic and excitement of Disney create a unique atmosphere that fosters connection and creates lasting memories. Being immersed in the enchanting world of Disney not only brings delight to my loved ones but also allows me to tap into a sense of wonder and rejuvenate my spirit. Family outings to Disney serve as a dynamic blend of shared joy, laughter, and a break from the routine, providing me with the perfect recharge that enhances my overall well-being.
