LPCC, LICDC

I decided to pursue a career as a therapist during the spring of my senior year of college. Although I had initially been on a pre-medicine track, I realized I wanted a career that would allow me to build meaningful, lasting relationships with the people I served. Having personally benefited from counseling as a college student, I was inspired to pursue a profession where I could offer others the same support, encouragement, and sense of connection that had been so meaningful to me.

My hope is that clients leave our sessions with a deeper understanding of themselves—including what matters most to them, how past experiences may influence their thoughts/feelings/behaviors, and what goals they have for the future. From there, we can turn insight into action. I want clients to leave with practical next steps and the confidence and motivation to move toward the life they want to live.

I firmly believe that you are the expert on your own life. My training, licensure, and experience allow me to offer an objective perspective, thoughtful guidance, and practical support, but ultimately, my role is to help you work toward the goals that matter most to you. I tailor my approach to each individual and believe therapy is most effective when we work collaboratively. Often, clients already have a sense of where they want to go—they simply need a safe, supportive space and someone to walk alongside them as they get there.
