​

Welcome, and thank you for visiting Encompass Counseling and Wellness.

​

I am the founder of Encompass Counseling and Wellness, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate (LMFT-Associate), Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC), and proud Navy Veteran. My passion is helping individuals, couples, and families overcome challenges, strengthen relationships, and build lives that are more balanced, connected, and fulfilling.

​

My years of military service shaped my deep appreciation for resilience, courage, and the strength it takes to ask for support. Because of this, I have a special understanding of the unique experiences faced by Veterans, First Responder's, and their families. As well as the impact that stress, trauma, and life transitions can have on relationships and overall well-being.

​

I specialize in helping families and couples improve communication, rebuild trust, strengthen emotional connections, and navigate life's changes with confidence and clarity. Whether you are facing relationship difficulties, family conflict, substance use concerns, personal struggles, or major life transitions, I provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered.

​

I am also passionate about helping youth develop the skills needed to thrive at home, in school, and in their future careers. Through coaching, mentorship, and skill-building, I support young people in strengthening executive functioning skills such as organization, time management, goal setting, decision-making, problem-solving, emotional regulation, and self-confidence. My goal is to empower youth to recognize their strengths, build resilience, and develop the tools necessary for long-term success, independence, and healthy relationships.

​

My approach is compassionate, practical, and tailored to your unique needs and goals. I believe meaningful change happens when people feel supported, respected, and equipped with the tools they need to move forward. Drawing from my experience in both mental health and substance use counseling, I work collaboratively with clients to create lasting positive change while promoting overall wellness and healthy family dynamics.

​

At Encompass Counseling and Wellness, my goal is to help individuals, couples, families, and youth create stronger relationships, build resilience, and move toward a more fulfilling future. No matter where you are in your journey, you do not have to navigate it alone. I am honored to walk alongside you every step of the way.
