Empowering You to Live Fully and Fearlessly
Life is messy, unpredictable, and at times, downright exhausting. But even in the chaos, you deserve to live a life that feels rich, meaningful, and uniquely yours. My goal is to help you step into that life—not by giving you all the answers, but by guiding you to uncover them for yourself.

A Therapist Who Walks the Talk
I’m a firm believer that growth isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress. As a professional woman in my 40s, I’ve learned firsthand that self-acceptance and discipline can coexist, and that joy is something we create, not just something we find. My journey has led me to connect with people who are ready to embrace their strengths, overcome obstacles, and build a life that aligns with their values. If that sounds like you, we’re already a great match.

I earned my Bachelor’s in Psychology and later completed my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling at Hodges University in 2019. At GHCS, I work with individuals who are ready to challenge themselves, reframe their mindset, and take meaningful steps toward lasting change.

Let’s Get to Work
My approach to therapy is person-centered and solution-focused, which means our sessions will be collaborative, practical, and driven by your goals. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you develop the mindset, habits, and resilience needed to navigate life’s challenges. Instead of simply giving advice, I’ll help you tap into your own ability to problem-solve, shift perspectives, and take intentional action. I believe you already have the potential to grow—you just need the right support to bring it forward.

Beyond the Therapy Room
When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me immersed in the things that bring me joy—reading, gardening, practicing yoga, and traveling with my family and dogs. I’m on a mission to visit all the U.S. national parks, a goal that, much like therapy, requires patience, persistence, and a willingness to embrace the journey.

Are You Ready for Change?
Therapy isn’t always easy, but if you’re willing to show up for yourself, I’ll be right there beside you. If you’re looking for guidance, encouragement, and a little push to take the next step, I’d love to meet you at GHCS!
