Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 23 years of experience helping young adults and adults navigate through anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress, and other challenges. I believe that you are the expert in your own life and my role is to help guide and empower you through this journey.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative, supportive, and solution-focused. I believe meaningful change happens when together, we work to identify your existing strengths, build on what is working well, and develop practical strategies to help you move forward.

What you can expect from me

The first appointment is an opportunity to get to know each other and to begin to understand what brought you to therapy. We will discuss your current goals and what you hope to gain through the counseling process. Most importantly, we will begin creating a comfortable, collaborative space where we can work together towards positive change.
