Therapy is often a space for deep, meaningful work—and it can also be a place where you feel seen, accepted, and even a little lighter. I believe healing is most effective when you can be authentic and free from judgment, and when the process includes moments of genuine understanding—sometimes lightened with a bit of humor to help ease the journey. My goal is to provide that kind of space: safe, supportive, and real!
I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with extensive experience working in a PROS program where I supported individuals living with serious mental illness and complex trauma. I’ve worked with clients facing challenges such as depression, low self-esteem, anxiety, overwhelming thoughts, difficulty managing emotions, social withdrawal, and more.
I tailor my approach to meet each person’s unique needs. I believe in creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to explore, heal, and grow. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just need someone to talk to who gets it—I’m here to support you. You don’t need to have everything figured out—just a willingness to begin!
