About me
I provide compassionate counseling to help teens and families manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and life challenges while strengthening communication and connection.
At My Safe Space Counseling, I understand the courage it takes to begin therapy. With over 20 years of experience in education and extensive clinical work in private practice, inpatient, and intensive outpatient settings, I bring both professional expertise and compassion to every session.
I specialize in working with adolescents, families, and women who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, identity concerns, and life transitions. My approach is supportive and collaborative, creating a safe space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow.
Whether you are a teen managing the pressures of school and relationships, a parent seeking guidance in connecting with your child, or a woman balancing multiple roles, I am here to walk alongside you. Together, we will build coping skills, strengthen resilience, and work toward greater balance, confidence, and healing.
