Finding the right therapist matters, and I understand that reaching out is often the hardest step. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for more than 20 years, working with adolescents, adults, and seniors across a wide range of life challenges. I am EMDR-certified and trained in a broad range of approaches because no two people are the same, and neither are their needs. I stay committed to ongoing training because therapy and people both continue to evolve. Past clients have appreciated my flexible, engaging, and non-judgmental style. My goal is to get to know you and work with you exactly where you are.

My approach centers on you as the expert in your own life. I offer a collaborative, strength-based space where we work at your pace, drawing on whatever fits best: processing trauma through EMDR, finding practical steps forward with solution-focused work, or exploring deeper patterns with Jungian or Gestalt methods. I am non judgmental and walk alongside you in your journey. Self-acceptance is central to my work, and sometimes we genuinely need another person in our corner to get there. I look forward to supporting you.

When we begin working together, we start by exploring what you want to address. I make suggestions, but you choose what we focus on. Together we will set goals and map a path forward, and I check in regularly to make sure we are moving in a direction that feels meaningful to you. Most people leave that first session feeling a little clearer about where we are headed and less alone with what they have been carrying.
