Great to meet you!

Looking forward to meeting you!

Starting counseling takes a lot of courage and a willingness to self-reflect and make changes. I have been working in mental health for over 20 years. I raised my 3 children as a single mom and then returned to get my master's degree with a focus on trauma. I was trained in EMDR and I have been working as a therapist since 2017.

My approach to therapy

Everyone has a unique story and deserves an individualized approach to care. Once we decide to work together, we’ll act as partners in your therapeutic journey. It’s important to me that we communicate openly and that you feel respected in our relationship. I’ll be there to listen to you, challenge you, and support you along the way.

What you can expect from me

I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment that allows you to feel comfortable sharing and being vulnerable, while also feeling secure. From there, we’ll work together in the sessions that follow to make your goals a reality.
