She began her clinical supervision under Melissa Preece, LCSW-S, LCDC in February 2025 and is committed to furthering her expertise to better serve her clients. Therapy doesn’t have to feel cold or intimidating. It should feel honest, down-to-earth, and human. I offer a warm, supportive space where you can show up as you are with no judgment and no pressure.

I use a person-centered approach with motivational interviewing to help you reconnect with your own strengths and move forward in a way that fits your life, your values, and your pace. I especially enjoy working with young adults who feel stuck or uncertain about their career path, as well as individuals and families navigating dementia, grief, and major life changes. I help with concerns such as trauma, relationship stress, career burnout, and loss.

My goal is to make therapy feel practical, meaningful, and real. A place where growth feels possible and hope feels like something you can actually hold onto.
