About me
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who is dedicated to helping adults accept and cope with the human experience.
The profound impact mental health has on people’s lives inspires me daily as a therapist. I believe that awareness, acknowledgment, and acceptance of struggle are essential for helping clients thrive in all areas of life, whether at work, in relationships, or in personal growth. One of the most inspiring things about being a therapist is the potential to help clients discover their own natural ability to nurture and offer themselves compassion and to support them as they navigate struggles.
I take a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach to therapy, always focused on validating and supporting my clients' emotions. I believe in moving at the client’s pace and empowering them to take the lead in their own care. I value open communication and encourage feedback and collaboration throughout the process.
Being consistent and reliable is important to me. I strive to be honest, authentic, and genuine with my clients. I'm here to support you through difficult times with patience and compassion and also to celebrate your successes, however small, with laughter and virtual high fives.
