Great to meet you!

I am a licensed professional counselor and national board certified counselor who is passionate about supporting individuals as they navigate life’s challenges and work toward personal growth and well-being. My professional background is rooted in school counseling and counselor education, and I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents,, young adults and their families in educational and community settings.

My approach to therapy

My approach to counseling is collaborative, strengths-based, and culturally responsive. I strive to create a supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe exploring their experiences, identities, and goals. I am particularly interested in supporting clients with concerns related to anxiety, depression, life transitions, identity development, academic or career stress, and personal growth.

What you can expect from me

I always start with an introductory session, where you’ll have the opportunity to share your story and what you hope to achieve in therapy. We’ll work together to figure this out! I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment that allows you to feel comfortable sharing and being vulnerable, while also feeling secure. From there, we’ll work together in the sessions that follow to make these goals a reality for you.
