LPC/MHSP, 18 years of experience
Hi! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 18 years of experience helping people work through life’s challenges and find meaningful change. I work with adults navigating things like anxiety, depression, life stressors and life transitions. My approach combines compassion and practical insight to help you make sense of things, and reconnect with what truly matters. I believe healing isn’t just about getting back to baseline, it’s about growth, renewal, developing resilience and becoming the fullest version of yourself.
Our first session is a chance to get to know each other and begin understanding your story. We’ll start with brief introductions, then explore your background, current concerns, and what brings you to therapy. Together, we’ll clarify where you are now, what you hope to change or understand, and how therapy can help you move toward the version of yourself you’d like to become.
I employ an integrative approach by drawing on psychodynamic principles for depth and meaning while using cognitive behavioral interventions for structure and symptom reduction. This dual approach balances insight and action, promoting both understanding and behavioral change.
You may appear composed and capable, but inside it can feel like your thoughts never stop. Maybe you are challenged with anxiety, depression, inadequate coping skills, questionable self esteem, or struggling with life transitions. Or maybe you analyze every decision, replay conversations, and hold yourself to a high standard, yet peace of mind feels just out of reach. Many of my clients come to therapy because they’re tired of overthinking, self-doubt, or feeling emotionally disconnected despite outward success. My goal is to help you understand the patterns driving this internal pressure while building and developing clarity and direction, a sense of confidence and sustainable change. Together, we’ll focus on clarity, self-acceptance, and finding relief that lasts beyond the next achievement.
