I am committed to supporting my clients, responding to their therapeutic needs, and understanding the problems that are present in their daily lives.

I provide neuropsychological assessment and provide neuropsychological services when needed. Please contact me by email for more information regarding my approach to clients and how I can help you.

I believe that all individuals require human connection as well as someone to share their experiences with; especially when things begin to feel overwhelming, daunting, and unbearable. At that point, one’s daily routine, tasks, functioning, and life can feel as if it’s “just too much to handle.” Sounds familiar? If so, let me help you. Within the counseling room, I operate from a trauma-informed lens, and pull from an integrated theoretical approach that best suits your individual needs. I enjoy integrating expressive arts into sessions and offer Christian Counseling upon client request. -Reach out via email for a prompt response-

Therapy can sometimes be a challenging first step for those currently going through a tough time. It can already be very difficult to try and cope with the day to day struggles as well as past traumas in life that opening up to a stranger may feel intimidating. It is my hope to allow my clients to not only feel safe to share their most unique selves within a therapeutic setting, but also to establish a warm and empathic relationship. As a therapist, I recognize the value of kindness and rapport in helping my clients heal. Feeling both seen and heard can truly make a difference in allowing personal growth to take place.

Counseling is my calling. I feel honored to play a role in assisting people to overcome obstacles and to become the person that they always felt was possible. I am hear to guide people on their journey of self discovery while also providing the skills and tools necessary to overcome what ever challenges life has brought their way. I truly love what I do and provide caring acceptance and support to my clients. I am proud to say that my biggest referral base is former clients and I could not ask for a biggest compliment. Looking forward to helping you.

My counseling philosophy is grounded in the belief that every person has the capacity for personal growth and positive change. I approach therapy with a non-judgmental and empathetic attitude, creating a safe space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
