Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a background in both mental health and education, bringing a practical, real-world approach to therapy. With experience as a career counselor for young adults, I understand the pressure, expectations, and uncertainty that often come with major life decisions and transitions.

In my private practice, I primarily work with young adults and adults navigating career stress, life transitions, anxiety, and identity development. Many of my clients are at pivotal points in their lives—figuring out what’s next, managing the pressure to succeed, or feeling stuck despite doing “everything right.” I help clients gain clarity, build confidence, and develop a more grounded sense of direction in both their personal and professional lives.

My approach is straightforward, supportive, and goal-oriented. I utilize cognitive-behavioral strategies while also focusing on mindset, habits, and decision-making patterns that directly impact day-to-day functioning. Whether you’re dealing with burnout, performance anxiety, career uncertainty, or a major life shift, I work with you to create practical strategies that lead to meaningful progress.

I also offer executive and performance-focused counseling for professionals looking to improve focus, manage stress, and operate more effectively in high-pressure environments. My background in athletics and coaching informs my work with individuals who value growth, accountability, and measurable results.

While my focus has expanded to working more with adults, I continue to bring a strong understanding of adolescent and young adult development, allowing me to connect with clients navigating the transition from school into the real world.

My goal is to create a space that is both supportive and productive—where you feel understood, challenged in the right ways, and equipped with tools to move forward with clarity and confidence.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is supportive, collaborative, and goal-oriented. I believe that trust and connection are the foundation of meaningful progress, so I work to create a warm, non-judgmental space where clients feel truly heard and understood. I use a blend of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused strategies, and mindfulness techniques to help clients manage challenges, build emotional awareness, and develop practical tools for growth.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to walk away from sessions with greater clarity, practical tools, and a stronger sense of self. My goal is to help individuals understand what's going on beneath the surface—whether it's anxiety, low motivation, performance stress, or life transitions—and then build skills to manage those challenges with confidence.

You’ll leave each session with actionable strategies tailored to your goals, whether that means regulating emotions, improving focus, strengthening communication, or making informed decisions about school, career, or personal growth. Most importantly, clients often report feeling more empowered, supported, and equipped to handle the demands of daily life with resilience and purpose.
