Great to meet you!

Ever feel like you’re trying to save the world, only to realize you left your superpowers behind? It’s exhausting to fly solo. The strongest heroes always have a team in their corner—let’s join forces for your mental health.

My approach to therapy

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) dedicated to providing expert mental health support across the lifespan. With more than 25 years of experience in education, I have a unique and thorough understanding of student development from preschool through senior year, making me highly equipped to guide adolescents through anxiety, school stress, and academic pressure. In my work with adults, I specialize in addressing relationship stress, anxiety, grief therapy, and parenting support. My practice is informed by advanced, specialized training in trauma, restorative practices, conflict resolution, non-suicidal self-injury, LGBTQ+ care, and neurodivergence (including Autism and ADHD). I look forward to teaming up with you to navigate life's challenges and transitions.

What you can expect from me

Because you are completely unique, your therapy should be too. My approach is eclectic, meaning I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, we’ll partner together to create a custom path forward using a blend of approaches like CBT, Solution-Focused, Narrative, Relationship Therapy, Psychoanalytic, or Gestalt, depending entirely on your needs. I’m here to meet you exactly where you are today, and together, we'll map out where you want to go next. I have a genuine love for psychology and am always reading, taking courses, and learning new ways to sharpen my skills so I can best support you.
