About
I am currently accepting new clients, and I want to welcome you. Many individuals I work with carry the weight of past experiences while navigating the stress and uncertainty of daily life. Trauma, anxiety, and depression can leave you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or constantly on alert. It feels exhausting to hold everything together while struggling internally. Therapy offers a space to understand your story, build resilience, and develop healthier ways of coping. This process allows you to live with greater clarity and confidence. My approach to mental wellness is trauma-informed and strengths-based. I focus on creating an environment where you feel safe, understood, and supported. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 10 years of experience. My background includes work in child welfare, community mental health, rehabilitation with incarcerated individuals, and medical collaborative care. I hold a Master of Arts in Counseling with a specialization in trauma, abuse, and deprivation. I would be honored to support you on your healing journey toward improved mental health. Specialties: I specialize in working with clients navigating depression, anxiety, mood instability, life adjustment, and the impact of trauma. I am experienced with creating a supportive space where we explore your experiences together and build a collaborative plan tailored to your needs. In our early sessions, I focus on understanding what's getting in your way so we can develop effective strategies for healing. My goal is to help you reclaim the life you want to live. Credentials & Experience: As an independently licensed therapist, I provide compassionate, high-quality care grounded in rigorous training and clinical expertise. My licensure and professional background equip me to guide clients through challenges and support meaningful, lasting growth.
"I have experience helping clients work through a wide range of challenges, and I tailor my therapeutic approach to fit your unique needs. Together, we'll build a plan grounded in evidence-based practices so you can see meaningful progress while creating a strong foundation for lasting change. With ongoing support, you can move past obstacles and thrive in every area of your life."
