Great to meet you!

My purpose is to do as much good as I can by supporting others as they navigate life’s challenges. As a licensed professional counselor with approximately 10 years of experience working with youth and their families (nonoffending caregivers and siblings) who have experienced or witnessed trauma, life transitions, anxiety, or depression.

My approach to therapy

I approach therapy as a partner you invite into your journey. Together, we work to understand your emotional and physical responses, process your experiences, and look toward the future with hope. Open communication and mutual respect are at the heart of this partnership, and I strive to ensure you feel heard, valued, and respected throughout our work together.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is an opportunity to get to know one another and begin building a trusting connection. I’ll take time to learn more about you and what you hope to gain from counseling. Together, we’ll begin creating a welcoming space where you can feel comfortable, secure, and supported as you share at your own pace.
