I am passionate about supporting people of all ages through life’s challenges. I offer deep empathy and gently hold space for clients as you navigate your journey of healing and transformation using an eclectic solution-focused, person-centered approach.

I work with both adults and children. You may be interested in trying guided mindfulness, relaxation, art, or writing exercises. I invite clients to take advantage of these activities and the unique perspectives they offer. I offer 8 years of experience as an elementary school counselor and a variety of approaches to support children and parents, such as consultation, skill-building, and the use of play and expressive arts.

I am eager to hear your story and help guide you in clarifying your goals, deepening insight about yourself, and thriving in your life.
