I'm a licensed professional counselor working in private practice since 2020. I work in a direct, collaborative way, partnering with clients to understand what’s getting in the way and to create practical, meaningful change.

My background as a former educator shaped my ability to communicate clearly, build strong rapport, and stay engaged in the work. I also spent 20 plus years as a military spouse and worked for the State Department, living overseas and navigating frequent transitions. These experiences give me a deep understanding of cultural identity, change, and the emotional impact of adapting to new environments.

I bring this perspective into my work with individuals facing life transitions, relationship challenges, and questions of identity. Clients often appreciate my straightforward approach, combined with empathy and respect, as we work together toward insight, resilience, and lasting growth.
