Intro

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 4 years of clinical experience and more than 25 years as a teacher, school counselor, and mentor. I work with adults navigating life transitions and support individuals facing anxiety, depression, grief, stress, health changes, and other major life adjustments. I believe counseling should be a safe, respectful space where your experiences are valued and your voice is truly heard. My goal is to help you find clarity, meaning, and a renewed sense of purpose—while feeling supported and understood as you move forward.

How would you describe your approach to care?

My approach to care is warm, patient, and centered on you as a whole person. I aim to create a calm, welcoming space where you feel comfortable reflecting on your life experiences, thoughts, and feelings. I believe this stage of life can be a meaningful time to look inward—making sense of the past, understanding yourself more deeply, and finding greater peace within. My goal is to support you in bringing the different parts of your life together in a way that feels complete and meaningful, while helping you move forward with purpose. I draw from practical, evidence-based strategies to help you manage stress, strengthen emotional well-being, and support personal growth at your own pace.

What should be expected in the first session?

In our first session, you can expect a relaxed, welcoming conversation focused on getting to know you and understanding what brings you to counseling. We’ll talk about your current concerns, any life experiences that may be relevant, and what you hope to gain from therapy. I’ll also explain how counseling works and answer any questions you may have. There is no pressure to share everything at once—we will move at a pace that feels comfortable and respectful.
