I am especially passionate about supporting young adults and adults who are working through the effects of trauma, navigating depression and anxiety, or seeking to build healthier relationship boundaries. I also enjoy helping clients explore questions of personal identity and purpose, guiding them as they cultivate self-acceptance and resilience. I am LGTBQ affirming.
Before entering the mental health field, I spent over 20 years in the corporate sector, where I developed a strong foundation in leadership, and communication. That experience taught me the value of collaboration, empathy, and clear direction—skills that inform my approach to counseling.
Healing involves both mind and body, and I aim to help clients deepen their self-understanding, reconnect with their inner strengths, and foster lasting emotional well-being. If you feel ready and are seeking some non-judgmental support, I invite you to reach out!
