Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor

I am a provider at our Columbia clinic who provides therapy services!

My ideal client is someone navigating life’s changes while processing past experiences, as old triggers may resurface. They seek both encouragement and support but also a gentle push to take action toward things that bring satisfaction and growth. Their goals often include developing a stronger sense of self, improving interpersonal relationships, and discovering their true purpose in life.

As a primarily person-centered therapist, I provide my clients with the space and guidance to cultivate autonomy, helping them reach their fullest potential. I offer unconditional positive regard, assist in identifying barriers they may not recognize, and explore their core values and beliefs with congruence. While my foundation is in person-centered therapy, I remain flexible to meet each client’s unique needs. This may include addressing unhealthy cognitive patterns, encouraging positive self-talk, and introducing mindfulness-based behaviors and coping strategies to expand their toolkit. By showing up as my authentic self, I create an environment of non-judgment and safety.

I want my clients to know that I’m genuinely committed to supporting them on their journey of self-discovery and growth. I understand that reaching out for help can feel vulnerable, and I deeply respect the courage it takes. I strive to create a safe, compassionate space where we can work together toward healing and personal transformation. My approach is rooted in empathy and flexibility, and I believe in meeting each client where they are—whether that means exploring past challenges or discovering new paths forward. I’m here to help you gain clarity, build resilience, and empower you to take steps toward the life you want.
