Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who will work cooperatively with you toward agreed-upon therapeutic goals in exploring your challenges, resolving conflicted feelings and adapting to new life circumstances. I have worked with adolescents in a school counseling setting the last ten years and have been working with adults as a Licensed Professional Counselor the last few years. I specialize in areas such as but not limited to anxiety, relationships, grief, and depression.

My approach to therapy

I believe in finding the perfect therapist. My approach is to provide a safe environment for all while using appropriate, therapeutic goals. Additionally, my technique is rooted in CBT because I believe in empowering clients with practical tools to manage their thoughts and behaviors. I focus on helping them identify and develop coping strategies to improve their daily lives.

What you can expect from me

By establishing a safe environment, clients can expect to gain a deeper understanding of themselves, develop practical coping skills, and learn how to navigate challenges with greater confidence. My goal is to empower them to lead more fulfilling and balanced lives.
