Intro

With two decades of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals through life's most complex transitions. My journey has spanned clinical settings from Hawaii to the Mid-Atlantic, providing me with a diverse perspective on resilience and healing. I am particularly passionate about working with older adults, honoring the unique wisdom and challenges that come with later life stages, and providing a compassionate space for meaningful growth.

How would you describe your approach to care?

I believe that therapy is a shared journey, and my role is to walk alongside you with unwavering support and genuine warmth. My approach is deeply personal; I strive to create a soft place to land where your stories are held with care and empathy. By fostering a truly caring and human connection, I ensure you never feel alone in your process, providing a steady, compassionate presence as we navigate your path toward healing together.

What should be expected in the first session?

In our first session, we will focus on building a comfortable foundation for our work together. We'll begin by discussing the essential boundaries of our relationship, specifically reviewing confidentiality and the legal aspects, including the specific circumstances where I am required to report to authorities to ensure safety. This ensures our journey starts with complete transparency, allowing us to move forward into your personal story with a clear and secure understanding of your rights. We will also talk about how therapy works and why I love working with older adults!
