Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, iith nearly 20 years of experience, would be honored and excited to help you on your journey to better. Together, we will identify your strengths and struggles. I will challenge you to take the necessary steps that lead to self awareness, healing and freedom.

My approach to therapy

I believe real change starts with a genuine relationship. My clients tell me they can feel that I truly care—and that makes it easier to hear hard truths when they need to. I like to say I “snatch edges gently”—I’ll challenge you with honesty, but always with compassion and care. I specialize in helping women work through anxiety, depression, people-pleasing, codependency, perfectionism, trauma, and relationship struggles.

What you can expect from me

Think of our first session as a conversation, not an interview. We’ll spend some time getting to know each other, and you can share whatever feels most relevant—your background, current challenges, or simply what’s on your heart. My goal is to make sure you feel comfortable, supported, and heard from the very beginning.
