You didn’t choose this struggle, but here you are—managing stress, uncertainty, or the emotional toll that life has handed you. Whether you're adjusting to a chronic illness, facing the impact of cancer, struggling with anxiety, or navigating a major life transition, you don’t have to do it alone. You deserve support from someone who truly understands your journey. With over 11 years as a counselor and a diverse background spanning school counseling to rehabilitation, I help clients find strength and clarity in difficult moments. I offer a supportive, solution-focused space to help you process, adapt, and regain a sense of control.
I take a flexible but structured approach to help you find practical ways to handle life’s challenges. Together, we’ll build your confidence, find new perspectives, and develop skills to navigate tough situations. My goal is to create a supportive space where you can gain clarity, gain resiliency, and take real steps toward positive change.
If stress has you feeling lost, know that you don’t have to stay there. As a single mom and cancer survivor, I’ve faced my share of struggles, and I know how hard it can be. But I also know healing is possible. You deserve support, and I’d be honored to help. Reach out when you're ready. I offer evening and weekend appointments to meet your scheduling needs.

My favorite clinical modality is that of Solution Focused Therapy. During your 1st session we will discuss what brought you to therapy to decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. SFT is a short-term evidenced based approach that focuses upon current circumstances and future hopes. The goal is to find solutions that will put your mind at ease in ways you never dreamed possible.
