I have a heart for individuals who feel stuck, hurting, or overwhelmed by life’s challenges. I became a counselor because I truly believe people are not meant to walk through difficult seasons alone. Providing a space where others feel heard, supported, and encouraged is deeply meaningful to me. I find so much joy in listening, building genuine connections, and walking alongside people as they grow in confidence, heal from painful experiences, and begin to realize their own strength and resilience. Watching someone discover that they are capable of doing hard things is one of the most rewarding parts of this work.

I connect well with clients who may not have all the answers yet but are open to exploring, growing, and building new skills at their own pace. I also work well with those who are seeking encouragement, practical tools, and a collaborative approach to healing and personal growth. 

Therapy is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. The process broadens perspective, provides accountability, and offers the support you need to create lasting healing, growth, & change.

In the first session, clients can expect a welcoming and supportive space where we focus on getting to know each other. I’ll ask questions about what brought you to therapy, what you’re currently struggling with, and what you hope to get out of the process. We may also talk about background information, current stressors, and any goals you’d like to begin working toward. There is no pressure to share everything at once—you can go at your own pace. In the early stages of therapy, we work together to build a strong foundation of trust and safety. This includes identifying your strengths, exploring patterns that may be contributing to challenges, and beginning to develop practical coping skills. My approach is collaborative, meaning we will set goals together and adjust them as needed along the way. 

I tailor therapy to each client by starting with their individual story, strengths, and goals. In the beginning, we spend time understanding what they’re experiencing, what has or hasn’t worked for them in the past, and what they hope to change or improve. For some clients, that may mean focusing more on practical coping skills and structure, while for others it may involve slowing down to explore emotions, patterns, and deeper experiences.
