Great to meet you!

As a board-certified licensed professional counselor, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. The first step to changing the way one feels is to acknowledge the feeling. Way to advocate for yourself! I’ve been practicing for 20 years, but in the last decade, I have shifted my primary focus to female clients aged 15-25 who are struggling with anxiety and depression. I also specialize in grief and trauma.

My approach to therapy

Everyone has a unique story and deserves an individualized approach to care. Once we decide to work together, we’ll act as partners in your therapeutic journey. It’s important to me that we communicate openly and that you feel respected in our relationship. I’ll be there to listen to you, challenge you, and support you along the way.

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.
