Great to meet you!

I bring a unique blend of experience as a counselor, paramedic, and educator, with three decades of work across healthcare, mental health, emergency medical services, and higher education. This background gives me a strong understanding of the stress, trauma, and pressure many people carry in both their work and personal lives. I strive to offer a supportive, grounded space where clients feel understood and respected.

My approach to therapy

My approach is practical, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I integrate solution-focused therapy and positive psychology to help clients build on their strengths, reduce distress, and create meaningful, sustainable change. Together, we focus on tools and strategies that fit your goals, values, and real-world demands.

What you can expect from me

In the first session, clients can expect a welcoming, nonjudgmental space to share what is bringing them to therapy and what they hope to change. We will talk about your current challenges, strengths, and goals, and begin identifying a path forward that feels realistic and supportive. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, understood, and more clear about the next steps.
