LPC Associate

✦ Supervised by

Sally McDaniel

Kids have an incredible way of seeing the world, and I feel honored to be part of their journey. I love creating a space where children can laugh, play, explore big feelings, and learn healthy ways to handle life's challenges. Whether we're building confidence, practicing coping skills, or simply making therapy feel less scary, my goal is for every child to leave feeling seen, encouraged, and a little more confident than when they walked in.
