A little about me...

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me. If you are here, you may be looking for support in navigating life’s challenges—and I want to acknowledge the courage it takes to seek that support.

I believe that while none of us can control every circumstance life places before us, we can choose how we respond. With the right tools, perspective, and partnerships, we can adapt and grow in ways that bring greater peace, resilience, and meaning. My work as a counselor is guided by a deep belief in the healing process and the power of connection.

Therapy is not always easy and growth may not come as quickly as we’d like, but with compassion, patience, and trust, change is possible. I often draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness strategies, and perspective-building techniques to help clients reframe challenges, build healthier thought patterns, and strengthen relationships.

I work collaboratively, meeting clients where they are, and tailoring each session to their unique needs, values, and goals. My hope is to create a safe and supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make positive changes in your life.

I look forward to the possibility of walking alongside you on your journey toward growth, healing, and greater self-understanding.
