I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience in outpatient therapy, school-based counseling, multisystemic work, clinical assessments, and substance use counseling. I’ve worked with individuals and families across a variety of settings, allowing me to bring both clinical expertise and real-world understanding into the therapy space.

I specialize in working with teens, adults, parents, and helping professionals navigating stress, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and behavioral challenges. I also support parents seeking guidance and practical tools to better understand and manage their child or teen’s behavior.

I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and understood. Our work will be collaborative and tailored to your unique needs, with a focus on helping you feel more confident, in control, and equipped to handle life’s challenges. For those who prefer it, I offer faith-integrated counseling that incorporates Christian values into the therapeutic process.

I hope to help you transform those painful, self-limiting beliefs and old patterns into realistic and affirming ones. The process I most often use incorporates bilateral stimulation of the brain. This is a simple technique that often has profound results. It has been shown to move clients very quickly towards the core healing, which is central to lasting results. One of the key benefits of this therapy is the ability to approach new situations /people with creativity, clarity, and new problem-solving techniques. This often occurs spontaneously as part of the process.
