Are you tired of the patterns in your life that lead to frustration and hurt? Would you or a loved one like to feel better about yourself and the relationships in your life? Are you seeking a warm, safe, nurturing space for healing and growth? I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who is dedicated to helping my clients thrive. My passion lies in supporting individuals and adolescents through their unique journeys. My experience working in different settings such as community mental health, outpatient and schools has given me insight into people’s different needs.

I have a background in helping with AD/HD, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, trauma, self injury, family issues, life transitions, identity, parenting, and grief. My approach blends evidence-based modalities such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I also believe in the nature of play and humor and incorporate both in my work.
I strive to create a nurturing environment in which clients feel understood and comfortable exploring issues while cultivating self-awareness to create positive change. As a passionate advocate for personal growth, I’m here to guide you on your path to a happier, healthier life. Healing begins with a safe, non-judgemental stance. Reach out to me to begin.
