I approach counseling by meeting people where they are—with curiosity, warmth, and a deep respect for their lived experience. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients can slow down, feel heard, and better understand their patterns, challenges, and strengths.

My style is person-centered and CBT-informed. I am both reflective and direct, helping clients gain insight while also supporting them in making meaningful, real-life changes. I believe people are doing the best they can with the tools they have, and therapy can be a place to build new awareness, skills, and confidence—even when the process feels uncomfortable.

I enjoy working with pre-teens, teens and adults navigating life transitions, relationships, stress, and personal growth. I bring lived experience, empathy, humor, and honesty into the room to help clients feel understood and empowered to move forward in a way that feels authentic to them.

I’m a wife, mother, and lifelong learner who values connection, growth, and time spent with the people who matter most. I enjoy being outdoors, staying active, and maintaining close relationships with family and friends. Before becoming a counselor, I spent 25 years in education and continue to work as a special education advocate, which deeply shapes my understanding of challenges people navigate every day. I’m known for being warm, grounded, and realistic in my approach—I care deeply, I listen closely, and I strive to create a space where others feel safe and heard.
