About me
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate and I find deep meaning in caring for and about the wellbeing of others
Maybe you feel stuck in patterns of self-doubt or helplessness, unsure of how to create the life you desire. Past experiences—whether traumatic events, relational wounds, or unmet needs—may still echo in the present, impacting the way you view yourself and make meaning. Or perhaps you struggle to experience emotions without judgment, turning blame inward while holding the lonely weight of despair and disconnection.
There are countless reasons to seek out a therapeutic relationship, and I feel grateful for the chance to learn about yours. I offer in-person, individual, integrative counseling for those navigating the impacts of anxiety, depression, and trauma. Whether you’re facing challenges, exploring identity, or seeking to enhance your relationships, I believe counseling can help illuminate paths forward.
