About
Like the Phoenix bird, you will rise.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of experience. My primary goal is to provide a comfortable, safe, and empowering space for your healing journey. I am a proud member of the LGBTQ+ family. I live successfully with ADHD, and maintain long-term recovery from addiction. These lived experiences saved my life and allow me to meet clients with absolute authenticity and deep compassion. You and I will work diligently to use effective, trauma-informed interventions to create real, lasting change in your life.
