"As one who has experienced personal trauma and loss, I have an authentic understanding of how we are impacted by painful life circumstances and how building new skills can empower us once again."

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over 19 years of experience. I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion and clarity. I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and relational challenges. My goal is to create a therapeutic environment that promotes healing and personal growth while helping clients reconnect with their strengths, rebuild trust in themselves, and move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.

I earned my Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Avila University. My approach blends evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and person-centered techniques to help clients gain insight, develop healthier coping strategies, and create meaningful change that supports emotional well-being and lasting transformation.

I understand that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. Healing begins with feeling seen, heard, and understood. I hope to offer a safe and empowering space where you can reflect, grow, and move forward at your own pace. Together, we can build the clarity, confidence, and peace you’ve been seeking.
