Pure Light Counseling Services, LLC

I am an Advanced Practice Social Worker (APSW), Clinical Substance Abuse Counselor (CSAC), and Independent Clinical Supervisor (ICS) providing trauma‑informed, holistic care through Pure Light Counseling Services, in partnership with Collaborative Wellness. I believe deeply in the power of authentic connection and the resilience within every person’s story. I use my advanced training in social work and substance use counseling to support clients of all ages throughout their healing process.

My work is guided by principles of grace, compassion, and steady presence. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe to pause, reflect, and explore what healing looks like for them. My style is collaborative and grounded, helping clients build insight, strengthen resilience, and make meaningful changes that align with their values and lived experiences.

At the heart of my practice is the desire to walk alongside clients through both uncertainty and growth—offering guidance that is gentle, consistent, and rooted in hope. My intention is to be a steady guide, a lamp to their feet and a light to their path, as they move toward clarity, stability, and a more hopeful future.
