I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology and over 25 years of experience providing therapy to individuals and couples. I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities and I'm dedicated to offering high quality care in a safe, supportive environment where insight, healing, and personal growth can flourish.
My approach to therapy is grounded in support, insight, and collaboration. I work with clients to address current challenges and long-standing patterns, offering guidance and compassion along the way. Together, we explore your story, identify your needs, and develop strategies to help you reach your personal goals.
Feeling heard and understood is at the heart of healing, and it’s something I strive to offer every client. I approach each person with genuine curiosity and compassion, seeking to understand the experiences that have shaped who they are. I believe everyone deserves the chance to become their best self and create a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling.
