About me
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I help teens, college students, and adults navigate anxiety, life transitions, and relationship challenges—so they can feel more connected, confident, and in control of their lives.
At Connection Counseling LLC, we understand that life can feel overwhelming — whether you're a teen facing the pressures of growing up, a college student navigating major transitions, or an adult juggling responsibilities and relationships. The truth is, even the strongest people need support sometimes, and reaching out is a powerful first step toward feeling better.
I specialize in helping individuals move through life’s toughest seasons — from anxiety, stress, and relationship challenges to identity exploration and major life changes. No matter what stage of life you're in, our work together will be grounded in connection, trust, and strategies that actually make a difference.
I believe real healing happens through meaningful relationships — with others and with ourselves. My approach to therapy is collaborative and personalized, built around your unique goals and experiences. You don’t have to go through this alone. I’m here to support you with curiosity, compassion, and tools that help you move forward with confidence.
If you're ready to feel more grounded, empowered, and connected, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
