I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 8 years of experience in the mental health field, including 4 years as an LPC Associate and 4 years as a fully licensed clinician. My background includes work in schools, inpatient and outpatient settings, and telehealth, which has given me the opportunity to support individuals and families through a wide range of challenges. I believe real change begins when you feel truly seen and supported, so I meet you with empathy, honesty, and practical tools to help you move forward. 

I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Many clients come to counseling feeling overstimulated, or unsure how to cope—looking for practical tools, clarity, and a sense of control. Others may be working through past trauma or patterns impacting their daily lives. 

Whether you're seeking relief from immediate stressors or looking for deeper understanding and long-term growth, I strive to create a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.
