Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified School Psychologist with over ten years experience working with both children and adults across a range of emotional, behavioral, and developmental needs. My professional background allows me to understand the unique challenges individuals face at different stages of life.

Whether addressing anxiety, life transitions, emotional challenges, or personal development, I aim to foster meaningful growth by building a strong therapeutic relationship and providing thoughtful guidance. My goal is to empower clients with the insight and tools they need to navigate life with greater confidence and resilience.

My approach to therapy

My approach to counseling is grounded in person-centered principles, meaning I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel truly heard and understood. I work collaboratively with clients to meet them where they are, helping them move forward at their own pace.

What you can expect from me

At our first session, you should expect for us to discuss your background, including family and school/work dynamic; along with the goals and expectations of our therapeutic relationship.
