As a Licensed Professional Counselor with a passion for helping individuals reach their full potential, I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey where we work together to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a safe and supportive space. My goal is to create an environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make positive changes in your life.

I specialize in trauma-informed care, which means I use evidence-based approaches to help you process traumatic experiences, develop healthy coping skills, and manage life's transitions. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, or navigating intimate relationships, I'm here to support you every step of the way.

With a Master's degree in counseling and over seven years of experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our sessions. During my time in the field, I have worked at multiple residential treatment centers supporting high-risk youth and their families. The atmosphere of this work was dynamic, filled with resilience and growth. It highlighted the importance of employing therapeutic techniques tailored to each individual’s needs, while fostering a sense of safety and belonging.

Most recently, I worked with adults in court-ordered assertive community treatment. This experience provided invaluable insights into the complexities of mental health treatment within a legal framework. The experience involved collaborating closely with a multidisciplinary team to deliver comprehensive support tailored to each individual's unique circumstances and needs. This approach not only fostered accountability but also emphasized the importance of building trust and rapport with clients who may be resistant to traditional therapy methods. Engaging with individuals in their natural environments allowed for more effective interventions while promoting stability and recovery. The rewarding aspect of this role was witnessing the transformative impact of compassionate, individualized care as clients navigated their challenges and worked towards healthier, more fulfilling lives.

In our sessions, you can expect a warm, non-judgmental environment where we can explore your concerns at your own pace. I believe in the power of a strong therapeutic relationship and will work to build trust and rapport with you from the very beginning. Together, we will identify your strengths and work towards your goals, fostering resilience and self-compassion along the way.
