The counseling journey can be hard work. It takes courage to reach out for help — thank you for taking that important first step! I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor who has helped hold hope for clients in counseling for over 20 years. I have a master's and doctorate in counseling, which adds to the skills and support I offer. Are there issues with stress, anxiety, grief, loss, sadness, or a life transition? Are you a new or new-again parent navigating the "challenging 3's" with your child? These are just some of the reasons clients, from children to adults, come to counseling with me in English and Spanish. 

So how can I help? As a clinical mental health counselor, I will offer you a safe space and listen without judgment. I believe that you and your story matter. I counsel from a holistic, mind-body-heart perspective that is realistic and grounded. I will help you explore strategies and coping skills that are useful and practical for you in your life. 

My clients come to counseling to heal, grow, gain new ideas, skills, and understanding, and know they are not alone. With each client I have the honor of holding hope for in the counseling space, I am reminded of how resilient and amazing the human spirit is. I would be honored to join you in counseling and help hold hope.

I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor associate (LCMHCA) and registered play therapist with 15 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. Play therapy is a central focus of my work, and I specialize in helping children and families navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relational concerns in developmentally appropriate, play-based ways. I also enjoy working with women, parents, and individuals seeking support during major life transitions.

I earned my master’s degree in counseling from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. My clinical approach is grounded in play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and narrative therapy. I partner with clients and families to explore experiences, build insight, and strengthen skills that support emotional regulation, balance, and lasting change.

My goal is to provide a compassionate, collaborative space where you feel seen, heard, and supported. I believe growth happens through connection, curiosity, and play. Whether you are beginning your journey or returning to it, you do not have to face it alone.
