Great to meet you!
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, and School Psychologist with over 21 years of clinical experience and 16 years of experience in public education as a special education teacher, educational diagnostician, and school psychologist. I hold a PhD in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Counselor Education.
My professional background has given me the privilege of working with children, adolescents, adults, and families in both educational and clinical settings. This diverse experience allows me to bring a well-rounded perspective to my counseling practice, especially when addressing challenges related to learning, behavior, mental health, and family dynamics.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s unique needs. I believe in meeting people where they are while helping them build resilience, strengthen coping strategies, and discover their own capacity for growth and healing. I integrate evidence-based practices with practical strategies so that our work together feels both supportive and actionable.
I specialize in supporting individuals and families who are navigating issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, behavioral challenges, and life transitions. I also have extensive experience working with children and adolescents in the areas of emotional regulation, academic challenges, and special education needs.
Whether you are seeking support for yourself or your family, my goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you can feel understood and empowered to move forward.
