Starting therapy can be a big step, and you don’t have to do it alone. I believe everyone deserves a supportive space to be themselves and work through life’s challenges.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience helping adolescents, adults, and older adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, grief, life transitions, family conflict, serious mental illness, and developmental and intellectual disabilities. I’ve supported people facing both everyday stress and more complex mental health concerns.

Therapy isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about gaining insight, building resilience, and creating meaningful change at a pace that feels right. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply need extra support, I’m here to help.

Therapist

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to learn more about my practice.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) with more than 10 years of experience helping individuals navigate life's challenges and achieve meaningful personal growth. I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am currently pursuing my doctoral degree, further expanding my knowledge and commitment to providing effective, evidence-based care.

While I enjoy working with clients across the lifespan and provide counseling services for individuals ages 6 and older, I have a particular passion for supporting high school and college students. These years often bring significant transitions, academic pressures, identity development, relationship challenges, and questions about the future. I enjoy helping young people build resilience, increase self-confidence, and develop the skills needed to thrive both personally and academically.

Whether you are seeking support for stress, anxiety, life transitions, personal growth, relationship concerns, or other emotional challenges, my goal is to provide a collaborative therapeutic experience tailored to your individual needs.

I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward healing, growth, and well-being.
