I have nearly a decade of experience in behavioral health, treating depression, anxiety, trauma, and personality disorders. I encourage using personal values as life's compass; you are the expert on you. I maintain a neutral, conservative stance, providing an unbiased perspective to help you process things objectively. Progress is a team effort; I guide you out of the forest for a better view of the trees. I hold clients accountable to untangle the web and find a clear path. I work primarily with adults to build a transparent, professional partnership.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor, but honestly, my credentials are just the beginning. What I bring to every session is genuine care and the understanding that getting here probably wasn't simple — most people have been struggling quietly for longer than they'd like to admit. So if you're reading this, I want you to know: reaching out was brave, and you're in a safe place to grow.
