Starting counseling can feel like a big step—especially when life looks fine on the outside but feels overwhelming, uncertain, or disconnected on the inside. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (MA, LPC) with over 25 years of experience supporting individuals and couples through change, growth, and difficult seasons of life. My background includes advanced graduate training in both psychotherapy and family systems, along with experience in corporate settings, education, and higher education—giving me a broad understanding of how personal wellbeing, relationships, work, identity, and life transitions intersect.

My approach is warm, collaborative, practical, and trauma-informed. I integrate insight-oriented work with evidence-based approaches including cognitive and relational therapies, attachment-informed perspectives, emotion-focused work, strengths-based counseling, and solution-focused strategies.
