I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor offering compassionate, trauma-informed care to adults. My goal is to support you on your journey toward healing, self-discovery, and lasting well-being.
I currently offer sessions between 8:30 AM and 4:30 PM, Monday through Thursday with the latest appointment time starting at 3:30 PM. These hours support my ability to provide focused, consistent care to each of my clients.
Since 2008, I’ve worked in nonprofit and clinic-based settings, helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with resilience and strength. I specialize in helping clients manage emotional pain, build confidence and self-worth, and develop healthy coping strategies in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to do it alone. If you're feeling uncertain, stuck, or simply in need of support, I’m here to meet you where you are. You're welcome just as you are, and together we can work toward greater clarity, confidence, and healing.
