Seeking therapy is a courageous step, and I believe healing begins with a safe, compassionate, and trusting relationship. I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and supported as we work toward meaningful change.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Certified Grief Informed Professional, and doctoral scholar with more than 30 years of experience in behavioral health, human services, leadership, and counseling. With master's degrees in Professional Counseling and Human Resource Management, I bring both clinical expertise and practical insight to the personal, relational, and workplace challenges many people face.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, caregiver stress, relationship concerns, workplace stress, and life transitions. I am especially passionate about supporting women, caregivers, and helping professionals who often prioritize others while neglecting their own well-being. I also help clients strengthen coping skills, improve relationships, increase self-awareness, and foster personal growth.

Clients often describe me as warm, compassionate, and easy to talk with. I believe every person has unique strengths, and together we'll build on those strengths while navigating life's challenges. Whether you're overwhelmed, grieving, or facing a transition, you don't have to do it alone. My goal is to help you gain clarity, build resilience, and move forward with confidence and hope.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to your unique needs. I combine evidence-based practices with empathy and practical strategies to help you gain insight, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I believe healing begins when you feel safe enough to be your authentic self. Together, we'll explore patterns, strengthen coping skills, establish healthy boundaries, improve relationships, and work toward realistic goals that support your emotional well-being.

My goal is to provide a supportive, empowering environment where you feel equipped to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and hope.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin building a trusting therapeutic relationship. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, your current concerns, personal history, strengths, and the goals you'd like to achieve.

My priority is to listen with compassion, understand your unique experiences, and ensure you feel heard without judgment. You don't need to have everything figured out—we'll move at a pace that's right for you.

By the end of our session, you'll have a clearer understanding of how we'll work together, a chance to ask questions, and a collaborative plan for moving forward. My hope is that you leave feeling encouraged, supported, and hopeful about the path ahead.
