The path to serenity may be bumpy but having a partner on your journey can help. I am an LPC, licensed professional counselor. I specialize in providing in-person and virtual therapy for preteens through adults who are struggling with depression, stress, anxiety, focus, grief, and/or the effects of traumatic experiences. I have 20 years of experience in counseling, which includes a total 26 years of working with youth in high school. I can help you define goals, express or rediscover your values, recognize and use your strengths, take manageable steps toward healing, and most importantly, tell your story.
In addition to traditional office-based therapy, I also offer walk and talk therapy sessions, which can be a great way to enhance the mind and body connection. I have life experiences that extend my understanding as it relates to divorce, caregiving, parenting, and affirming all individuals, like people in the LGBTQ+ community.
You possess what it takes to improve your mental health, grow, have joy, and find meaning amidst adversity. I am privileged to join your journey.

I want to hear your story and how you are suffering and desire guidance. Any symptoms, physical, emotional and spiritual, will help us determine where we begin. Understanding how our body responds to stress and fear is the beginning of taking back control. I offer a proven therapy to re-tune the nervous system. I'd love to walk and talk with you and discuss what is best for you.
