I believe therapy is not just a job—it’s my calling and purpose. As a Provisional Licensed Professional Counselor with over three years of experience in diverse clinical settings, I offer individual and family counseling grounded in compassion, collaboration, and evidence-based care. I specialize in helping individuals navigate challenges related to anxiety, addiction, trauma, and life transitions, and I’ve found that healing often happens best in the context of strong, supportive relationships.
In addition to holding a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling, I have a concentration in Marriage and Family Therapy. I believe in treating the whole person—and sometimes that means involving the family system to foster lasting change and deeper understanding.
Whether in one-on-one or family sessions, I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to grow. My therapeutic approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic principles, and motivational interviewing, tailored to fit each person’s unique needs.
