Therapy is not just about talking—it’s about transformation. With a practical, goal-oriented approach, I help clients move beyond feeling stuck and toward meaningful, lasting change. As a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor, I combine clinical expertise with a deep commitment to growth—both for my clients and for the clinicians I mentor. I believe that successful therapy begins with a shared understanding: progress requires effort. My ideal client is someone who is ready to do the work and, is willing to engage in the process, real change becomes possible.
I am passionate about helping individuals identify, achieve, and sustain their personal goals. My approach emphasizes collaboration, empowerment, and growth, supporting clients as they navigate challenges and build on their strengths. I specialize in working with 12-25 year old, guiding them through key developmental transitions. But all ages are welcome.
I understand that life’s challenges can often seem to get the best of us. I want to help people with whatever personal obstacles they are facing to help them reach their best selves. Please come see me and let’s see what the next steps towards your recovery will look like.

I usually start with cognitive behavioral therapy and then change and adapt, if necessary, based on your needs. There will be homework that will help you continue the work that we did in session. I am aware that not everyone likes writing or journaling so I will make the homework meet your needs as an individual.
