About My Clients

In my work, I maintain a deep commitment to supporting individuals who are navigating a variety of emotional struggles. You or your child may feel like you're lost and alone navigating your emotions, but I am here to walk with you and support you. I have a special interest in working with suicidal clients of all ages. If you are in this mental space, please reach out and I will be happy to work with you or find someone who can.

My Background and Approach

My approach is person-centered, compassionate, non-judgmental, and tailored to your unique needs. I employ a variety of techniques, including existential, ecotherapy, and play therapy, to help us explore your past, present, and future experiences. I believe that even in our most challenging moments, there is hope and the potential for growth.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My personal beliefs are aligned with my person-centered approach to counseling. I volunteer with hospice organizations as a friendly visitor and I work in crisis stabilization in community mental health, specializing in suicide prevention. I believe deeply that we are meant to walk alongside each other through this life and I look forward to supporting my clients through their journey.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
