Becoming a therapist was never simply a career choice for me. I have always been a natural listener and someone people have often felt comfortable opening up to. I genuinely want to understand what others are experiencing and provide a place where they can talk without feeling judged or dismissed.
My own life experiences and family circumstances growing up shaped the way I connect with people. They taught me how powerful it can be to feel heard, supported, and understood during difficult moments. Over time, I realized that helping people through those moments was not only something I was good at — it was work that felt deeply meaningful to me.
I am a psychotherapist and independently licensed clinical social worker, holding LCSW and LISW credentials across the jurisdictions where I practice. I have more than 17 years of experience working with adults and older adults facing a wide range of life stressors.
Through that work, I have learned that people do not always need someone to give them all the answers. Sometimes you need a place where you can put everything down, speak honestly, and sort through what is happening without being judged for your feelings or choices.
I do not believe therapy should look exactly the same for everyone. Your experiences, culture, responsibilities, strengths, relationships, and goals all matter.
My work may incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, supportive psychotherapy, and other approaches based on your individual needs. We can work together to identify patterns, build practical coping strategies, strengthen boundaries, process difficult emotions, and clarify the changes that matter most to you.
“Come as you are. We will begin with where you are today and work from there.”
Years of Professional Experience
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family, traveling, reading, cooking, listening to music, and singing karaoke. I believe there should be room for connection, humor, and joy even during difficult seasons of life.
What matters most to me professionally is creating a genuine therapeutic relationship where you can feel respected, heard, and comfortable being yourself.
Therapy should feel human, respectful, and collaborative.
Working with the same therapist allows trust and understanding to develop over time.
Your treatment should reflect your needs rather than a one-size-fits-all formula.
Your experiences, values, identity, and choices deserve to be approached without judgment.
Therapy can include both emotional processing and concrete tools you can use outside of sessions.

SteadyWay Counseling is a private telehealth practice designed around consistent, one-on-one care. Rather than moving you through a high-volume system, the focus is on developing a therapeutic relationship that can deepen over time.
I aim to provide a welcoming experience from the first contact while also being realistic about response times and availability. Inquiries are answered as promptly as possible, and urgent or emergency concerns should not be sent through the website.
