About me
Hello, I am glad you are here! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 30 years of experience dedicated to the art and science of healing. Throughout my career, I have remained driven by a single belief: that every person deserves a safe, compassionate space to navigate life’s heaviest chapters. Our work starts with a simple, heartfelt promise: I’m here to walk right beside you, not lead the way. I truly value being my authentic self with you, offering a space filled with warmth and total acceptance where you never have to worry about being judged. Think of me as a supportive partner rather than an expert with all the answers—this is your journey, and I’m here to help you feel safe and heard as you find the path that feels right for you. I bring "gold-standard" tools to our sessions—including EMDR, CBT, and CPT—to ensure we are using the most effective methods for healing trauma and managing mood disorders.
At my core, I am a Person-Centered therapist. This means I don't just see a diagnosis; I see a person with unique strengths and a story worth hearing. Whether I am helping a client move past trauma, guiding a parent through the complexities of raising a teen, helping someone through healing from narcissistic abuse, or mentoring the next generation of therapists, I bring a steady, non-judgmental presence and a wealth of clinical wisdom to every conversation. I am here to be a grounded, supportive partner on your journey toward balance and peace.
