I am a Licensed Professional Counselor working with children, families, and young adults to make positive change. My goal is to establish a safe, comfortable environment for you to express yourself, find your inner strength, and experience growth and healing. I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and I utilize a solution focused, strength-based approach to make progress towards the goals that we will create together.

Maintaining a willingness to learn will always be beneficial for an individual and their journey.
