Depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma can leave you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about what comes next. You deserve space to be heard and understood, even when it is hard to put your experience into words. I welcome clients navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, and the pressures of work, school and everyday life.

My path to counseling was a bit unconventional. I worked in Higher Education as a VP of Enrollment, and in sales and sales management in Biotech start-ups. These experiences help me connect with clients navigating demanding responsibilities, workplace relationships, career changes, and the strain that professional pressures can place on your personal life.

My biotech background also included work in oncology, and I hold certifications in grief counseling. I welcome individuals facing a cancer diagnosis, survivors navigating life after treatment, and families coping with caregiving, uncertainty, and loss. I understand that the grief and trauma associated with cancer can extend beyond treatment and affect relationships, identity, and hopes for the future.

I hold a master’s degree in counseling from Wake Forest University, a master’s degree in business management from Indiana Wesleyan University, and an undergraduate degree in psychology from Taylor University. My education and professional experience give me a broad perspective on the connections between emotional well-being, health, relationships, and work.

Whatever brings you to counseling, I welcome the opportunity to know you as a person, including your struggles, strengths, and what matters most to you.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in respect for your experiences, values, and goals. I create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can speak openly, feel understood, and explore what is keeping you stuck. Together, we will build on your strengths, recognize patterns that may no longer serve you, and develop practical tools for navigating everyday challenges. I tailor our work to your individual needs and take a trauma-informed approach, respecting your pace and readiness to explore difficult experiences. Through thoughtful questions, honest feedback, and encouragement, I help you deepen your understanding of yourself and take manageable steps toward meaningful change.

In our first session, I’ll focus on getting to know you and understanding what you need from counseling. We’ll talk about what led you to reach out, the challenges you’re facing, and the parts of your background that help me understand your experience. We’ll also explore your strengths, sources of support, and what you hope will change through therapy. If your goals aren’t clear yet, we can begin figuring them out together. I’ll explain how I work, answer your questions, and give you space to consider how comfortable you feel working with me. You can share at a pace that feels manageable. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, with an initial sense of direction for our work together.
