Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who believes healing happens when people feel seen, supported, and empowered. With over seven years of experience across outpatient therapy, crisis response, psychiatric rehabilitation, substance use treatment, and correctional mental health, I bring a calm, grounded, and compassionate presence to every session. My work is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and a deeply humanistic, client-centered approach.

My approach to therapy

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, anger, or major life transitions, I help you understand your patterns, build healthier coping skills, and move toward the life you want. I’ve supported individuals and families in some of the most intense and high‐pressure environments.

What you can expect from me

My goal is simple: to meet you where you are, honor your lived experience, and walk with you as you create meaningful, lasting change. Healing doesn’t have to happen alone — I’m here to help you take the next step with clarity, confidence, and compassion.
