Qualifications

As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 5 years since becoming independently licensed and over 25 years of experience in behavioral health, I have experience working with adults, teens, and diverse populations. I hold a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology and a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies in Behavioral Health Counseling. My prior certification as a Clinical Trauma Specialist allows me to bring a holistic approach to trauma-informed care. I bring a deep understanding of the challenges people face across different stages of life.

Therapy with me is a collaborative process. I meet you where you are right now, tailoring each session to your unique goals. Together, we work towards clarity and intentional change. I draw from evidence-based practices, including:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to reframe limiting beliefs
• Solution-Focused Therapy to build momentum
• Mindfulness for calm and self-awareness
• Strengths-Based Counseling to tap into your inner resources

I deeply honor each person’s unique story, walking alongside you to illuminate pathways to healing and growth.

In our work together, you can expect a supportive and respectful space where your voice is heard, your choices are honored, and your goals guide the process. My role is to walk alongside you as you explore, grow, and move toward the change that matters most to you.
