I've been a counselor for over 25 years and still feel amazed and honored that I get to walk with people on their journey, and get to see them grow stronger and become their best selves.
​
I use techniques such as experiential therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, to help you move through limitations and create understanding of where you have been and where you want to go. I also have been trained in EMDR therapy to work through traumatic memories and deeply rooted negative beliefs.
​
I believe each individual can heal and grow once understanding can be found in a compassionate, non judgmental setting that I work to create in my practice.
​
I enjoy caring for all ages and frequently provide both marriage and family counseling.
​
Another part of my practice is teaching and supervising Associate Licensed Counselors during their journey to become fully licensed counselors.

Counseling can be vulnerable, uncomfortable, and challenging – yet amazingly awarding.
Life can be messy and get overwhelming. Between expectations, transitions, and the weight of trying to hold everything together, it's easy to lose sight of yourself.
I use a compassionate, straightforward approach that is mixed with humor and empowerment. I believe it's important to provide you a space where you can authentically explore whatever you need in an accepting and judgement free way.
Allow me to be alongside you while we find
your healing, intention, and balance.

Every person has an inherent need to feel seen, heard, and understood. When these critical needs aren't met, it's common for coping mechanisms that are both ineffective and self-destructive to take shape, which can then lead to feelings of frustration, isolation, and a sense of being "stuck." Whether your negative feelings manifest themselves as anxiety, depression, impulsive behaviors, addiction, or the inability to connect with others, navigating these struggles alone can be overwhelming. No matter how helpless you may feel, it's important to know that you're not alone.
​
It is my privilege to assist clients in identifying and challenging the thoughts and behaviors that are blocking them off from becoming their true selves. By creating a safe, comforting environment where pain and self-defeating patterns can be acknowledged, explored, and ultimately seen, together we can work to transform your struggles into strengths.

​
Are you someone who has experienced a big transition in life? Has worry creeped in as you wonder what are your next steps? Are you struggling with communication and unhealthy relationships? Are you dealing with overwhelming stress due to the pressures of life? Are you searching for meaning and/or just beginning your spiritual journey? Though these are all tough situations, it does not have to be your end. Becoming aware of your current position and where you want to go is key. You can tackle the next stage of life, anxiety, relationships, and spirituality with the help of a therapist.
​
My work has included assisting with anxiety, academics and careers, depression, adjustment issues, platonic, romantic, and familial relationships and self-esteem. My goal is to partner with you as you acknowledge your past (when appropriate) and current struggles, explore the patterns of your thoughts and actions, and discover your goals for moving forward. You are capable and deserving of being your best self and I would love to take that journey with you. Therapy is a safe space where you can be your authentic self without shame, judgment, or embarrassment. Let's partner together to ignite the true you today!

When past memories and daily life are overwhelming, throwing us off balance, we are often left feeling powerless to effect change. Our efforts to protect ourselves from feeling painful emotions can leave us with depression, anxiety, anger, and relational issues, as well as keep us from experiencing the positive emotions we so desperately desire.
I believe a strong therapeutic alliance is the cornerstone of a successful transformative experience and I commit to nurturing a safe space where we can unveil your inherent strengths and find a positive pathway to healing. If you are ready to reclaim the freedom you were created for, let's walk this journey of self-discovery together as you re-author your narrative and embrace the most authentic version of yourself.

Choosing a therapist is a courageous and deeply personal decision, and my hope is to offer a space where you feel deeply seen and heard. I come to this work not as someone with all the answers, but as a fellow human being—shaped by her own story: ever learning, ever becoming.
​
My mission is to honor, and walk alongside both individuals in reconnecting with their inner truth and natural strength, and couples in creating and fostering communication and connection. My approach is collaborative and tailored to each person, focusing on what they're experiencing in the here and now while also honoring the parts of their past that continue to echo in the present. Together, we'd work on identifying what you need, explore what may be getting in the way, and create a path forward that feels authentic to who you are and who you’re becoming.
​
I work best with clients who are ready and willing to engage in the meaningful, and sometimes challenging work of understanding their story. When we choose to name truth with compassion, real and lasting change becomes possible. I aim to bring warmth, humor, and care into my work, so that at the end of the day my clients can feel supported in meeting themselves honestly, held in their humanity, and grounded for what’s next. If you’re ready to take the next step, it would be an honor to walk alongside you.
