Great to meet you!

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC-MHSP), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate (LMFT-A), and EMDR-trained clinician who is passionate about helping individuals and couples gain clarity, healing, and confidence. I provide a warm, affirming space where you can feel safe exploring the patterns, experiences, and relationships that shape you life. My goal is to empower you with insight and practical tools so you can move forward with strength and intention.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative, insight-oriented, and trauma informed. I help clients understand how past experiences, relationships, and patterns influence their present challenges.

What you can expect from me

The initial session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and determine if we're a good fit. We will discuss current concerns, your goals, and any important background information that helps me understand your story. We will also identify problem areas and set goals. By the end of our session, we will outline our next steps and begin creating a plan to help target specific, individual needs.
