Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of experience supporting people through life’s challenges. I specialize in anxiety, stress, relationships, life changes, and crisis support. My approach is positive, holistic, and focused on helping you build balance, recognize your strengths, and create meaningful changes that fit your life.

My approach to therapy

My approach is client-focused, positive, and down-to-earth. I believe therapy can include humor, encouragement, and honest conversations while still working toward meaningful change. I use DBT and CBT skills, education, and practical tools to help you better understand yourself, manage challenges, build healthier relationships, and create more balance in your life.

What you can expect from me

You can expect a safe, open, and comfortable space where you can talk honestly and feel heard. Our first session will focus on understanding where you are, what is important to you, and where you would like to go. Together, we will create a treatment plan with realistic goals and a timeline that fits your needs—whether you are looking for short-term support or ongoing therapy.
