Great to meet you!

Looking to make changes? I work with all ages and have particular experience with teenagers and young adults, navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, and personal growth as well as working professionals struggling with burnout or compassion fatigue/empathic strain. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 15 years of experience in the mental health field.

My approach to therapy

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each individual's unique needs. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients can explore challenges and develop lasting tools for change. I am solution-focused and recognize each person's inherent capacity for growth and self-understanding. Together, we focus on practical strategies and meaningful insights that support lasting, positive change. I aim to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where you will feel empowered.

What you can expect from me

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 session helps you make steady progress toward your goals.
