My journey

My journey into this field began with a passion for supporting people through times of transition. Over the years, I’ve worked in private practice, school counseling, and career counseling, which has allowed me to help individuals at many different stages of life. These experiences showed me how powerful it can be to have the right support during moments of uncertainty or change. What continues to motivate me as a counselor is seeing clients grow in resilience, self-confidence, and direction. I deeply believe that everyone can create meaningful change, and it’s incredibly rewarding to walk alongside my clients as they do so.
