Great to meet you!

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who believes clients are the experts of their own lives. I offer a nonjudgmental, compassionate, and safe environment to help clients navigate through whatever difficulties they face. One goal during sessions is to encourage incorporating self-care practices into the client’s daily life.

My approach to therapy

I strive to create an empathic, warm, and nonjudgmental atmosphere with my clients, ensuring they feel safe, heard, and understood. My clients and I walk together on their journey to achieving their goals. They know themselves better than I know them. I am often known to say, “You are the expert of you. You have the answers you desire; let’s work together to find the questions to obtain those solutions.”

What you can expect from me

I feel it is important for my clients to partake in their journey toward self-awareness and good mental health and to feel empowered. To help in this process, I may suggest books, music, or mindfulness in the form of homework.
