About me

Hi there! I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and Certified Play Therapist, and I spent nearly 10 years as a school counselor. For over a decade, I’ve loved working in private practice, supporting individuals and families. My passion is helping people navigate life’s ups and downs while developing emotional well-being. Every client is unique, so I tailor my approach to fit their needs — and I believe therapy can be both meaningful and enjoyable!

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I provide engaging and compassionate virtual therapy sessions from the comfort of your home! I am available on weekdays, including evenings. In-person availability will be offered in the future (office space is being renovated).

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Over 10 years of experience working with children, teens, young adults, and families, with a warm, fun, and engaging approach, to build trust and a positive therapeutic relationship. Together, we can navigate the hills or valleys of life using learned tools to overcome obstacles and achieve personal growth. My ability to connect with clients and create a safe, supportive environment has made me successful in helping people manage life with confidence and resilience.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am deeply passionate about supporting children, teens, young adults, and families in reaching their full potential and improving their overall life satisfaction. I work closely with individuals facing various challenges to help them navigate life.

My treatment methods

Person-centered (Rogerian)

People are the center of my approach to counseling. You could call me a Person-Centered Therapist because the therapeutic relationship is my first priority. During therapy, I also pull from Cognitive Behavioral strategies and Strength-Based Counseling.
