LMHC, 9 years of experience
I’m a therapist who helps people make sense of their inner world - especially during seasons of heartbreak, confusion, or change. My clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed or lost. Together we create a space for clarity, healing, and grounded movement toward wholeness. I aim to provide warmth, practicality, insight, and encouragement which is blended, at times, with a bit of humor. My style is interactive, thoughtful, and deeply collaborative. You can expect sessions to be supportive and also gently challenging – the kind which will help you grow, and not just endlessly vent (although you are welcome to unburden yourself as needed). I believe that in our darkest moments, we need someone to walk with us. There’s nothing more meaningful to me than helping people find the light they thought they’d lost. I won’t pretend to have all the answers. I wish I could wave a magic wand and solve it all! But I promise I will bring curiosity, steadiness, and care every time you show up.

Initially I want to know: What brought you to counseling? What may happen if you don’t get the help and support you need? How might your life be better as a result of a successful therapy experience? I'll spend time getting to know you - not just your struggles, but also your strengths. I want to hear your story and learn about what matters to you. It's a space where you can be as open (or as cautious) as you need to be. By the end of the first session, most clients feel heard, relieved, and a bit more grounded.
I aim to bring both creativity and compassion into the therapeutic space. My approach blends encouragement with practicality - helping you feel supported while moving toward meaningful, solution-focused change. Clients often describe me as warm and engaged. They also, too, say I bring a sense of humor to our sessions.
I am well positioned to help individuals who are processing complex relationship dynamics, recovering from emotional betrayal, or navigating seasons of personal transition. My clients often feel stuck between pain and hope - and want a place where they can be heard, understood, and supported toward meaningful, lasting change.
There really isn't a "one size fits all" approach as you are a unique individual. We will incorporate a variety of techniques and your care will be based on what you personally need. We will explore who you are and from there we will focus on the particular strategies and skills which best suit you.
