Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with 13 years of experience providing counseling in a variety of settings, including acute care, community mental health, and in-home counseling. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with individuals facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, anger management, grief, life transitions, and many of the challenges we all experience at different points in life.

My passion is helping individuals navigate difficult seasons while gaining a deeper understanding of themselves and discovering the best version of who they are. I believe therapy should be a safe space where you feel heard, respected, and free from judgment.

We often put ourselves on the back burner while taking care of everyone and everything else. If you’re ready to prioritize yourself and take the first step toward feeling better and becoming the best version of YOU, I invite you to schedule a session today.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, personable, and nonjudgmental. I use a client-centered and solution-focused approach, meeting you where you are while creating a safe space to feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, we’ll identify your goals, build on your strengths, and develop practical strategies to help you navigate challenges and create meaningful, lasting change.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin building a comfortable, trusting therapeutic relationship. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you’re hoping to gain from counseling, and the areas of your life you’d like to improve. You can expect to feel heard, respected, and supported as we begin creating a plan that is tailored to your unique needs and goals.
