During my undergraduate studies, I was fascinated by understanding people, cultures, and the experiences that shape how we see the world. Over time, that curiosity evolved into a deeper interest in the patterns that shape our thoughts, emotions, relationships, and responses to life's challenges.
Today, I bring that same curiosity into my work as a therapist.
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, self-aware individuals who have spent years trying to understand themselves. They may have read the books, listened to the podcasts, developed insight into their struggles, or even participated in therapy before. Yet they still find themselves repeating the same patterns, feeling stuck in familiar reactions, or struggling to create the changes they want in their lives.
For over two decades, I have worked with individuals and families in a variety of counseling settings, including inpatient treatment, community mental health, school counseling, and private practice. These experiences have allowed me to support people through a wide range of challenges, life transitions, and stages of personal growth while deepening my understanding of the many ways people adapt, cope, and change throughout their lives.
My role is not to tell you who you are, but to help you better understand yourself. Together, we explore the experiences, beliefs, relationships, and patterns that may be influencing your life today while developing practical ways to respond differently moving forward.
Because every person is unique, I take an individualized and integrative approach to therapy. Rather than applying the same method to everyone, I draw from a variety of evidence-based and insight-oriented approaches to meet your specific needs and goals.
While I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, my work is less focused on labels and more focused on understanding the whole person. My goal is to help you gain greater clarity, develop healthier patterns, and create meaningful, lasting change that feels authentic to you.
I believe meaningful growth happens when insight and action come together. It is a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they develop a deeper understanding of themselves and create lives that feel more connected, intentional, and fulfilling.
