Therapist

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed School Counselor, with ten years of experience in the counseling field.

My goal is to create a nurturing, space where clients can grow and overcome challenges. I view therapy as a collaborative journey. Together, we uncover inner strengths, build tools for everyday stressors, and acquire a sense of agency. Every individual is unique, and I am continuously inspired by what I learn from them as we work toward growth.

Outside the counseling office, I am a mom to three teenage girls. I recharge through creative outlets like painting portraits, writing stories, and experimenting with new recipes. I stay grounded through running, hiking, and yoga.
