Sometimes I meet clients who feel it’s hard to open up to a stranger—or to anyone in their life. I understand how vulnerable that can feel. That’s why I focus on meeting clients exactly where they are and building trust over time. I strive to be consistent, engaged, and present with the tender hurts my clients carry, always taking a nonjudgmental stance. I never rush the process.

As a result, my clients are often surprised by how quickly they feel safe enough to share their hardest and most protected memories. The trust we build stays steady, and many clients tell me they finally feel safe to process their experiences openly—sometimes for the first time ever. They feel the relief of not being the only person who knows and cares about their pain.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and certified in DBT therapy. Before joining Olive Branch, I served as Associate Director and Interim Director at another counseling center. When working with couples, I incorporate my training in the Gottman Method (Levels 1 and 2) and my certification as a Prepare/Enrich facilitator.
