Clinical expertise. A direct, human approach.
This is a regulated clinical practice. What happens here is specific, evidence-based, and named — not aspirational.
Trained to name what's actually happening
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with a master's degree in clinical mental health counseling. I've worked with individuals navigating anxiety, relational patterns, and significant life transitions.
My work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and psychodynamic pattern work. I don't use a single script — I follow what the evidence and the person in front of me require.
Most people arrive having already tried to fix things on their own. We start not with worksheets, but with an honest look at the pattern — where it came from, why it holds, and what might shift.
Specific methods. No vague promises.
The modalities I use — CBT, ACT, and psychodynamic work — each have specific mechanisms. I name those mechanisms with clients. When you understand why a pattern runs, you can actually intervene in it.
Sessions are structured but not scripted. The first appointment is diagnostic listening — I'm building an accurate picture, not handing you a workbook. We move at the pace the work demands.
Licensure means I'm accountable to a regulatory board, bound by an ethics code, and trained to handle clinical presentations — not just supportive listening. That distinction matters.
