I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with supervisory experience, offering an integrative approach to therapy that supports the whole person. My professional background includes work in private practice, college counseling settings, and intensive outpatient treatment, providing me with experience supporting clients across a wide range of needs.

As your therapist, I create a space where you can slow down and reconnect with yourself. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in belief that meaningful change begins within. Whether you’re managing anxiety, relationship challenges, identity shifts, or past experiences that still affect you, we move at your pace with practical tools and honest conversation.
