Great to meet you!

As the founder and sole owner of Happier Chapters Counseling, LLC, I came in with a vision to guide adults through workplace challenges with a casual and direct approach.

I have five years of experience in the behavioral health field, primarily in agency and hospital settings, supporting individuals overcoming addiction and navigating high-stress environments. I specialize in workplace burnout, with a strong focus on healthcare professionals.

My approach to therapy

I integrate cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and emotionally focused therapy. I’m trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and hold a Master’s Level Certified Addiction Professional (MCAP) credential.

What you can expect from me

A safe space to process your thoughts and work toward sustainable solutions for life's challenges. If you’re feeling stuck, depleted, or questioning whether your work is sustainable, therapy can be a space to reset, reflect, and move forward with intention.
