I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families through life’s challenges. My work has primarily focused on anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, emotional regulation, self-esteem, parenting concerns, relationship challenges, and life transitions. As a school-based mental health professional, I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents while also collaborating closely with parents, educators, and families to promote emotional well-being.
I integrate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, mindfulness strategies, and solution-focused techniques, while tailoring each session to meet your specific goals and needs.
My hope is to provide that space—a place where you can slow down, gain clarity, process difficult emotions, and begin building the life and relationships you want. Healing doesn't happen overnight, but you don't have to have everything figured out before starting. We can take one step at a time, together.
