As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I specialize in supporting adults aged 20 and older. I am committed to providing quality care in a safe, welcoming environment, helping clients navigate personal challenges and fostering meaningful change through compassionate, tailored therapy.

I am dedicated to helping my clients find hope and overcome life's challenges. Through a collaborative, strength-based approach, I strive to create a supportive environment where growth and healing can occur.

I work with individuals and couples who are ready to say, "I am struggling and I need help." My approach brings education, expertise, and authentic personality together to create an accepting atmosphere where you feel safe enough to be vulnerable and begin healing.

I’m a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW, #I.0005982) with experience supporting adults and teens in child welfare, senior care, and educational advocacy. I’m married with three adult children, one with a cognitive disability. Outside work, I enjoy family, friends, travel, reading, cards, and my two dogs.

I feel honored when my clients trust me with their life struggles, and it is an even greater honor to see my clients grow and learn how to embrace challenges that come their way!

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 17 years of experience working in various settings such as schools, hospitals, community mental health centers, and private practice. I treat people of all ages, from younger children to older adults, and a variety of concerns, including PTSD, childhood trauma, interpersonal problems, and more.

I provide support for your emotional, psychological, and spiritual well-being. My focus is helping you problem-solve through difficulties and understand how unresolved grief affects your daily living and overall health. Congratulations on taking this big step, and welcome to a safe space to learn and grow.

I have experience in community-based mental health working with children and adolescents. On this platform, I am providing therapy around infertility and reproductive trauma, as this is an area that I have journeyed through myself, and which I am passionate about providing care.

Whether this is your first time exploring therapy or you're returning after a break, I welcome you. I cultivate a relaxed, grounded atmosphere in sessions. Grab tea at your kitchen table, curl up on your couch, or go outside for a walk. Therapy should feel like a space where you can exhale and just be.

My therapeutic approach is characterized by a calm and client-centered philosophy. In our sessions, we prioritize your needs, allowing us to explore topics at your pace and for as long as necessary to facilitate your growth and healing.

It can be difficult to reach out for help and even more difficult to admit that you could use some guidance. When you are struggling, having someone in your corner to help you overcome the hurdles in your journey can be helpful.

I'm passionate about helping clients find a path to healing from past experiences and present-day difficulties. I strive to learn something new daily and bring that curiosity into my work with you.

Reaching out for therapy can be difficult and anxiety-producing. I will do everything I can to help you in this process and support you. I enjoy helping people who are struggling to better understand their feelings, needs, and goals and develop strategies to get to a more comfortable and satisfying place.

When I'm working with you, the focus is you--nothing else. You deserve to be truly heard and responded to with support, directness, and honesty. You may want assistance with seeing things in a new way and developing new ways to approach challenges. You may want to better understand what has held you back or why you have certain fears.

I’m a Licensed Independent Social Worker with a master’s in social work from OSU. For over 10+ years, I have worked in the mental health field with several populations and settings. My mission is to create a safe, affirming space where you can feel seen, understood, and supported as you work toward healing and self-acceptance.
