Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. I specialize in working with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, and personal growth. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s unique needs. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients can explore challenges and develop lasting tools for change.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach is rooted in humanistic and solution-focused principles, emphasizing each person's inherent capacity for growth and self-understanding. I believe in working collaboratively with clients to explore their experiences, identify unhealthy patterns, and build on existing strengths. Together, we focus on practical strategies and meaningful insights that support lasting, positive change. I aim to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients feel empowered and heard.

What you can expect from our first session

After a session, you can expect to feel heard, validated, and supported in a safe, nonjudgmental space. My goal is for you to leave with a clearer understanding of your experiences and practical strategies to apply between sessions. Each meeting builds on the last, helping you make steady progress toward your goals with confidence and clarity.
