Great to meet you!

Are you looking for a compassionate, experienced mental health counselor to support your child’s journey? As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 15 years of experience, I specialize in helping children, adolescents, young adults, and families navigate life’s challenges and build emotional well-being. I provide a safe, supportive space where clients can explore concerns, strengthen insight, and develop effective coping strategies.

Parenting in today’s world can feel overwhelming. I strive to be part of the supportive “village” that helps families recognize that change and healing are not only possible, but attainable. I work collaboratively with caregivers to strengthen communication, support emotional expression, and address behavioral concerns.

Together, we can help your child and family move toward greater connection, resilience, and growth.

My approach to therapy

My approach is client-centered and tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual and family. I am trained in evidence-based therapies, including TF-CBT, EMDR, CBT, and DBT, which allows me to effectively treat a range of concerns such as trauma, anxiety, depression, and behavioral challenges.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a welcoming, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment during their first session. This initial meeting is focused on getting to know you and/or your child, understanding your concerns, and learning about your goals for counseling. I will ask questions about current challenges, history, and strengths to gain a well-rounded picture, while also allowing space for you to share at your own pace.

Together, we will begin identifying initial goals and discuss a plan for moving forward. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, understood, and hopeful about the path ahead.
