I bring a warm, grounded and approachable presence to therapy. Clients often tell me I'm easy to talk to and that I create a space where they feel understood rather than judged. As someone who balances many roles in my own life, I understand what it feels like to carry stress, navigate transitions, and show up for others while trying to take care of yourself. That lived perspective helps me connect with clients who are overwhelmed, burnt out, or searching for clarity and stability.

I earned my undergraduate degree in Speech and Hearing Disorders and my master's degree in Professional Counseling. I currently serve as a Clinical Supervisor and Program Director in community mental health, where I oversee clinicians, strengthen treatment programs, and support whole-person care across school, home and community settings. This background gives me a solid understanding of both the emotional and practical challenges people face.

I work with adults, teens, caregivers, parents, college students, and helping professionals. Some of the treatment areas I frequently support include:

• Anxiety and stress
• Depression
• Trauma-related experiences
• Grief and loss
• Burnout and compassion fatigue
• Life transitions
• Self-Esteem
• Relationship and family patterns

My approach is warm, collaborative, and steady. I meet you where you are while gently helping you move toward the changes you want. I incorporate trauma-informed care, person-centered therapy, Cognitive behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, and a strength-based work to support both insight and practical skills.

I believe therapy should help you understand your emotions, break patterns that no longer serve you, and build tools you can actually use in daily life. Clients can expect a balance of reflection, skill building, and honest conversation that is always at a pace that feels comfortable and empowering.

Your first session is focused on helping you feel comfortable and supported. We'll talk about what brought you to therapy, the challenges you've been navigating, and what you hope to gain. I'll ask thoughtful questions to understand your story, but there's no pressure to share everything at once.

Together, we'll identify your goals and outline a plan for how we'll work toward them. My goal is for you to walk away from the first session feeling heard, understood, and confident that you're in a space where you can be yourself and begin healing at your own pace.
