Seeking counseling isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s an act of courage. It takes incredible strength to face painful emotions, sit with discomfort, & take steps toward healing. While many believe therapy is about advice or quick fixes, it’s really about being deeply heard, seen, & accepted without judgment. Each person carries a unique story shaped by lived experience, & I hold deep respect for the bravery it takes to share that story in a therapeutic space. I bring a warm, compassionate presence into each session. No matter what someone brings into the room, I aim to create a space where they feel safe, empowered, & understood.
My clinical experience includes supporting individuals with neurodiversity, trauma, somatic symptoms, depression, anxiety, grief, ambiguous loss, behavioral challenges, & life transitions. At the heart of my approach is empathy & authentic connection. I draw from a person-centered, humanistic philosophy that honors the inner resilience of each client.
Whether you're seeking support for yourself or your child, I’d be honored to walk alongside you in this process. Feel free to reach out for a free consultation Your story matters.

I often use child-centered play therapy (CCPT) as a safe space for children to process experiences and emotions by communicating in the child's language: play.
