I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel seen, heard, and respected. My work is grounded in attachment-based and humanistic approaches, meaning I focus on understanding your relationships, emotional experiences, and inner strengths. I believe healing happens through genuine connection and collaboration, not through labels and judgement. Together we work at your pace to build insight, resilience, and lasting change.
I bring more than 18 years of clinical experience supporting children who have experienced abuse and neglect, individuals working through addiction, youth and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, families navigating foster care and adoption, and clients experiencing acute mental health crisis. My approach is grounded in compassion, trauma-informed care, and a commitment to creating a safe and supportive therapeutic enviornment.
If you've been struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, or behaviors that keep getting in the way of the life you want, you don't have to figure it out alone. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) with 18 years of experience helping people rebuild their lives through criminal reentry. Today, I work with children, teens, adults, and couples who are looking for real change. Over the years, I've learned that no one is defined by their past, and I believe every person is capable of growth when they're given the right support.

I provide a safe, judgment-free space to help you break free from limiting patterns. It takes courage to take the first steps toward a happier life, and I’m here to empower your healing journey.
