Since 1997, I have worked as a Professional Counselor, providing individual, couples, and family counseling across a wide range of therapeutic settings. For more than 25 years, I have supported clients through life’s challenges by helping them gain insight, build effective skills, and move toward meaningful, lasting change. My work is grounded in understanding the whole person and identifying the underlying factors that contribute to current concerns—not simply addressing surface-level symptoms.

Alongside counseling, I began providing psychological testing and assessment services during my doctoral residency in the early 2000s. I quickly came to appreciate the unique value of assessment in helping clients gain clarity and direction. Many individuals who had spent years in therapy found that testing and evaluation helped them better understand the root causes of their symptoms, allowing treatment to become more focused and effective.

Throughout my career, I have conducted comprehensive, evidence-based evaluations and prepared detailed reports for clients, families, and collaborating professionals. These assessments are designed to align treatment goals, inform supports, and highlight both strengths and areas of challenge. Over time, I have also seen how this deeper understanding can support success not only in therapy, but across academic, personal, and professional aspects of life.

I value the opportunity to help people recognize their strengths, understand their struggles, and develop tools that foster confidence, resilience, and growth. At heart, I am a teacher, and that perspective is reflected in my commitment to helping clients and contributing to greater understanding within the community.

If you have questions about counseling or assessment services, or would like to schedule a consultation, I welcome you to reach out. Care, built around you, begins with understanding—and a collaborative path forward.
