About

Support that fits your life

I hold a PhD in Forensic Psychology, and my doctoral research focused on stress, trauma, emotions, and memory. I am now a Clinical Mental Health Counseling Intern completing my supervised clinical training, so my work is built around how people cope, how they relate to others, and how they grow through hard seasons.

Sessions are collaborative. You set the pace, and we focus on what matters most to you, whether that is easing anxiety, working through a transition, or strengthening a relationship. I know what it is like to start over in a new country. I came to the United States from Hungary nearly 20 years ago, and that experience shapes how I work with life transitions, identity, and relationships. I welcome clients from every background.

How long is a counseling session?

The initial session provides an opportunity to discuss current concerns, relevant background, counseling goals, and expectations for the therapeutic process. The counselor and client begin developing a collaborative approach to treatment.

Is counseling confidential?
