As a Licensed Professional Counselor of Mental Health (LPCMH), I’m passionate about helping individuals both teens and adults navigate life’s challenges and get to the root of what’s holding them back. I specialize in working with those dealing with anxiety, depression, and trauma, using a mix of approaches like solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic work, depending on what fits each person best. My goal is to create a space where clients feel seen and supported as they begin to understand themselves better and work toward real healing and growth.

I earned my Bachelor’s in Psychology from Wesley College and my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Neumann University.

At the heart of my work is a balance of empathy, honesty, and practicality. I meet clients where they are and walk with them at their pace, helping them uncover insights, build confidence, and find lasting change.

My approach is collaborative, supportive, and direct. I meet clients where they are, helping them unpack patterns, process difficult emotions, and build healthier ways of coping. I specialize in working with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I use an integrated mix of solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic insight to guide the work. My goal is to help clients feel seen, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence.

Clients can expect a space that’s honest, supportive, and judgment-free. My goal is to help them feel heard while also being gently challenged. Together, we work to build insight, break unhelpful patterns, and develop practical tools for real-life change. Whether it's managing anxiety, processing trauma, or navigating life transitions, I aim to help clients leave each session with more clarity, confidence, and a sense of direction.
