Empowerment Through Therapy

At Breakthrough Counseling, I provide
a trauma-informed, strength-based, and culturally responsive space where you feel supported, respected, and empowered.

I believe in acceptance, inclusion,
and honoring your unique story—
values that guide every part of my work.

Therapy with me is always tailored to
your individual needs, because no two
journeys are the same. I'm here to walk beside you as you reclaim your voice, rediscover
your resilience, and break through.

about me
about me

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who truly loves helping
others. I’m here to create a welcoming space where you feel
deeply seen, heard, and empowered.

For the past 8 years, I’ve supported clients through some of
life’s toughest challenges, and I’m continually inspired by the breakthroughs that unfold in our work together.

I bring warmth, curiosity, compassion, and humor to every session. Clients often tell me they feel safe showing up as their full selves—even when part of our work is discovering who that authentic self truly is and learning to love that person wholeheartedly.

My style is collaborative and down-to-earth. I’m not here to give
you all the answers, but to help you explore and uncover your own. I’ll offer guidance, perspective, and encouragement—celebrating
your progress while nurturing your healing and growth.

If you’re ready to begin, I’m here for you. I look forward to witnessing your Breakthrough.

Eclectic Therapy

Your story is unique to you.
I align evidence-based treatment methods
and interventions to your individual
set of needs and experiences.

You are the expert in your own life.
My role as a therapist is to serve as a
guide as you re-author your personal
narrative with intention and meaning.

narrative Therapy

Your life journey shapes how you see
the world. However, often thoughts
get distorted along the way, leading
 to unhealthy thinking patterns.
Through CBT, we will work to refute
cognitive distortions, change unhelpful
behaviors, and build new ways of coping.

areas of focus

If there’s one thing we know for sure—it’s that life keeps changing. Life transitions, whether exciting or upsetting,
can leave you feeling unsteady. Learn to navigate these
changes, so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.

Life Transitions

Therapy offers a non-judgmental space to explore your full experience within relationships. Gain the skills needed to strengthen your current connections and foster new,
meaningful relationships.

Trauma is a spectrum, and no one is shielded from its
encounter. Learn to understand overcoming trauma as
testimony to your resilience and strength, and move
forward in your healing journey.

Live authentically with a strong sense of self, by learning
to forgive, accept, and love every part of who you are.

Feel in control of your anxiety and lessen its impact on your daily life by learning to identify triggers, distance yourself from anxious thoughts and feelings, and create effective strategies to manage your symptoms.

Anxiety Disorders

Recovery is possible. I utilize a harm-reduction, recovery-oriented, and person-centered approach to support your journey toward health and a self-directed life aligned with your goals.
