If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself, therapy can be a space to slow down and begin reconnecting with what matters most. I support adults who are navigating life’s challenges and want to better understand themselves, their emotions, and the patterns shaping their lives.

My role is to be a steady, supportive presence as you explore your inner world and move toward healing and growth. I strive to create a positive, judgment-free space where you feel safe showing up as you are and beginning the healing process at your own pace.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor with a specialization in anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions, I bring a unique and deeply personal perspective to my practice. My journey through significant life events, including navigating the complexities of an abusive marriage, enduring the challenges of infertility, the transformative process of divorce and remarriage, embracing the roles of a parent and stepparent, as well as coping with the heart-wrenching unexpected loss of my brother has equipped me with an unparalleled empathy and understanding. These experiences not only shaped my resilience but also deepened my commitment to supporting others through their challenges.

My clients should know that I provide a calm, nonjudgemental space where they can show up exactly as they are. I understand how overwhelming anxiety, depression, and trauma can feel, and I approach each session with compassion and respect. I believe healing happens at your own pace, and I will walk alongside you as we work toward meaningful change.

Reaching out for therapy is a courageous first step. If you're looking for a therapist who will meet you with compassion, curiosity, and a whole-person approach to healing, I'd be honored to support you on your journey. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and five years of clinical experience. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. Whether you're facing a major life transition, struggling with anxiety, navigating relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to create a space where you can safely explore what's happening beneath the surface and move toward lasting change.
