Many of the clients I work with feel overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by depression, struggling with low self-esteem, or navigating difficult life transitions. You might look like you’re functioning on the outside, but inside you feel stuck, exhausted, or unsure of your next step.

My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and understood. Therapy with me is not about judgment. It is about helping you reconnect with your strengths, clarify what matters most to you, and move forward with greater confidence.

I hold a master's degree in counseling and I'm licensed as a Professional Counselor (LPC), with certification as a National Certified Counselor (NCC). I've worked across agency and private practice settings with a wide range of clients, which showed me early on how much this work can support people in very different seasons of life.

My focus is on relationships: with a partner, with yourself, or with people you've never quite felt close to. I work with individuals, teens, and couples, and I'm EMDR-trained and Gottman Level 1 Trained for that work. Whether someone is feeling disconnected from a partner, unsure how to make decisions without worrying what everyone else thinks, or carrying anxiety and stress that's built up over time, my approach centers on figuring out, together, what isn't working and how to shift it in a way that actually fits their life.
