I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 25 years of experience supporting individuals and families through various life challenges. Since obtaining my licensure in 1999, my professional journey has encompassed roles in group homes, community-based family services, substance abuse treatment centers for both adolescents and adults, and private practice since 2003.

My passion for counseling was ignited early in life, observing my father provide solace to grieving families at our family’s funeral home. These formative experiences instilled in me a desire to be a compassionate listener and dedicated helper.

Throughout my career, I have maintained a steadfast commitment to continuous learning and understanding the underlying causes of mental health concerns. By integrating evidence-based interventions tailored to each individual’s unique needs, I strive to facilitate meaningful and lasting change.

It is a profound honor to accompany clients on their paths toward healing and personal growth.
