Working with people is my passion. With more than 20 years of experience working in non-clinical settings, I have been privileged to walk alongside others through some of the hardest moments of their lives and witness the strength and healing that can emerge from those experiences.

This passion has now led me into the mental health counseling field, where I now specialize in working with teens, adults, and couples, and helping them navigate life with greater clarity, resilience, and connection to themselves and others.

I believe therapy works best when people feel safe, understood, and genuinely accepted. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in authentic human connection. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, mood-related challenges, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions, I strive to create a space where you can speak honestly without fear of judgment, while also creating meaningful steps forward towards the life you truly desire.

While my therapeutic approach draws from Attachment-Based Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Polyvagal Theory, it is always tailored to your individual needs. I am also able to incorporate your spiritual perspective into the counseling process if you desire.
