At different points in life, we all need support. Sometimes that means building confidence, managing stress, or improving relationships. Other times, it means working through painful experiences so you can move forward and restore hope.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience supporting children, teens, and adults in a variety of settings, including private practice, nonprofits, and public education. I worked thirty years in public schools as a teacher, administrator, and director of guidance, counseling, and social work, and have a deep understanding of both educational and emotional development.

I believe counseling should be collaborative—you are an active part of the process. I’m trained in EMDR, CBT, and TF-CBT, and other therapies, and can tailor a therapy to fit your goals and comfort level.

Whether you're navigating stress, life transitions, or trauma, I’m here to walk alongside you with experience, compassion, and practical tools for change.

I believe in an individualized, holistic approach to therapy, where the client and counselor work together in partnership to help the client move past their trauma and into a place of hope and peace. This approach allows the client to better understand the source of their distress, anxiety, unhealthy behaviors, and often physical discomforts. The goal is for the client to move forward from the past, manage and even enjoy the present, and set realistic goals for their future.

Each session is unique and intended to give the client insight to their own abilities to overcome the past, manage the present, and set realistic goals for a happier and more productive future.
