Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 12 years of experience helping individuals navigate life's challenges. My approach is person-centered, meaning I believe you are the expert on your own life, and I'm here to provide support, insight, and tools tailored to your unique journey. While I specialize in perinatal mental health, I also enjoy working with a wide variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, life transitions, mood disorders, and personal growth.

A bit about my approach to therapy

In therapy, my priority is to create a safe, welcoming environment where you can feel comfortable being yourself. I bring a casual style to sessions while maintaining a high level of professionalism and care. I believe that real growth happens when you feel supported, respected, and free to explore your experiences without judgement. Whether you're working through specific challenges or just seeking a space to reflect and grow, my goal is to meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you navigate your path forward.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect to leave sessions feeling heard, supported, and equipped with practical tools to navigate their challenges. My hope is that you gain greater self-awareness, confidence, and a deeper understanding of your emotions and experiences. Together, we work toward building coping skills, uncovering personal strengths, and creating meaningful, lasting changes. Each session is a collaborative process, focused on helping you feel empowered and better prepared to handle life's ups and downs.
