Life has taught me that we are always becoming.

My own journey has been shaped by many transitions: building a career in education, stepping away to raise my four children, returning to graduate school to become a school counselor, beginning a second career as a Licensed Professional Counselor, navigating relationships, career changes, the emotional highs and lows of parenting, and now embracing the wisdom and challenges that come with midlife and menopause.

Each season has reminded me that growth doesn't happen because life is easy. It happens because we learn to move with life's changing tides rather than fight against them.

Those experiences became the foundation of Wave of Wellness Counseling. They also deepened my passion for helping others navigate the transitions that shape who we are. Whether you're finding your way after high school or college, beginning or redefining a relationship, growing your family, balancing career and caregiving, facing infertility or PMDD, moving through perimenopause or menopause, or simply wondering, "Who am I now?" you don't have to navigate those waves alone.

I believe every transition carries the possibility of healing, growth, and rediscovering yourself. My role is to walk beside you with compassion, curiosity, and practical support as you build resilience and move toward a life that feels more grounded, authentic, and fulfilling.

At Wave of Wellness Counseling, therapy begins with understanding your unique story. Together, we'll create a personalized, evidence-based treatment plan that honors your strengths, values, and goals while helping you navigate life's changing seasons with greater confidence and resilience.

Our approach includes:

• Comprehensive assessments and individualized treatment planning

• Trauma-informed, holistic, and culturally responsive care

• Integration of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, person-centered therapy, Adlerian, and mind-body somatic practices

• In-person and telehealth therapy tailored to your needs

• A strengths-based approach that helps you build self-trust, healthy coping skills, and lasting emotional wellness

We believe that every person has the inner wisdom and capacity for growth. Our role is to provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can heal, gain clarity, and confidently navigate whatever season of life you're in.

I believe the best care doesn't happen in isolation. Throughout my career, I've found that meaningful healing often comes through collaboration, connection, and a community of professionals who share a common goal of supporting the whole person.

In addition to my work through Wave of Wellness Counseling LLC, I'm grateful to collaborate with trusted colleagues and organizations including Deep River Counseling, New Next Adventure Counseling, Mama Bird Counseling, and Lifestream Wellness. These partnerships allow me to continue growing as a clinician while offering clients access to a broader network of expertise and support.

Together with fellow therapists and functional wellness professionals, I enjoy developing workshops, support groups, educational programs, and wellness experiences that address the emotional, relational, and physical aspects of well-being. Whether through individual counseling or collaborative programming, my goal is to create spaces where people feel empowered, connected, and supported through every season of life.
