Great to meet you!

I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and board-certified clinical mental health counselor (CCMHC) who pursued this passion after 10 years in marketing and sales for the hospitality industry. I see adults and couples for individual counseling and marriage counseling. I specialize in phase of life challenges, depression, anxiety, and mood disorders.

My approach to therapy

I believe that we are the experts of our lives thus I maintain a neutral position. We work together so that the client can determine their personal values that are the motivation for each decision they make. Their values are also their motivation for any changes they intend to make to improve their emotional and mental wellbeing. My goal in each session is to provide clients the space to process, consider, and unpack their emotions, which is essential to therapeutic progress.

What you can expect from me

My therapeutic style is person-centered; while I may interweave additional therapeutic methods based upon the client's need, I follow the client's lead. My goal in each session is to provide clients the space to process, consider, and unpack their emotions, which is essential to therapeutic progress.
