My communication style

I communicate in a calm, respectful, and supportive way. Sessions are nonjudgmental and collaborative, allowing space for honesty, curiosity, and growth. I aim to create a safe environment where clients feel heard, understood, and encouraged.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey began in CPS, where I witnessed firsthand the lasting impact of trauma, abuse, and neglect. I later served in ministry and saw a deep need for additional mental health support. Then, while directing a residential treatment program for teens, I became a licensed, trauma-informed counselor to help people heal with understanding

My goals for you

Goals are set collaboratively and guided by each client’s needs and priorities. I help turn concerns into concrete action steps, track progress over time, and adjust strategies to support steady, realistic growth.

Our first session

The first session is a safe, low-pressure space to share your story at your own pace. We’ll explore what’s bringing you in, discuss goals, and begin building a plan that feels supportive, collaborative, and manageable.
