LPC, 7 years of experience
New to Grow
My journey to becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor was shaped by a deep desire to support others through life’s challenges—especially during times when they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or alone. Like many people, I’ve experienced how difficult it can be to navigate personal struggles without the right support system, and I’ve always been drawn to helping others find clarity, purpose, and hope during those moments. Over time, I realized that being a counselor would allow me to not only listen and empathize, but to walk alongside people as they identify their goals and uncover their inner strengths. What drives me every day is the opportunity to be part of someone’s growth—to offer a space where they feel truly heard and supported, and to help them discover that change is possible, even when it feels out of reach.
Often, the hardest part of therapy is making that first appointment. Let me reassure you by saying that you will be welcomed in a relaxed, non-judgmental environment. I understand that if you are comfortable, you are more likely to be encouraged to allow me to help you. Let’s work together to help you get to where you want to be.
My approach to treatment is grounded in collaboration, empowerment, and strength-based support. I understand that life’s challenges—and particularly mental health struggles—can feel isolating and overwhelming, especially without a strong support system. In our work together, I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. I aim to help you clarify your personal goals for success and guide you in developing practical strategies to achieve them. By identifying and building upon the unique strengths you already possess, we will work as a team to navigate obstacles, foster resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change in your life.
I work with adolescents, adults, and couples who are dealing with behavioral issues, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, relationship, and life transition issues. I utilize interventions including cognitive-behavioral and person-centered therapies. I am also a certified facilitator for Prepare-Enrich premarital/couples counseling.
