I will work with you to learn how to cope with life’s challenges and ultimately make positive and meaningful change. We are equal partners in this journey to find wellness and build a better ‘you’!

As a clinician I take a holistic approach, making sure to take into consideration all aspects of your life. I believe in taking a strengths-based perspective to give you the courage and motivation to implement the changes you wish to make in your life. I am here to help empower you to create the life you want to live.

As a licensed counselor, I can help provide that objective insight and support along the way. I believe in down-to- earth strategies that can be used in practical ways. My approach is on solution-focused techniques, with an emphasis on assisting clients with finding the balance in their lives between taking care of themselves while maintaining healthy personal relationships with others. I believe in clients setting their own goals in a safe and judgement-free environment.

In our work together, we'll create a safe, inclusive, and nonjudgmental space to explore your emotions, build coping skills, and help you feel more empowered in your life. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in real-life experience—as a fellow parent, I understand the challenges that come with trying to do it all. I bring a down-to-earth approach and a touch of humor to our work together, helping you feel comfortable, supported, and truly seen.

My approach to counseling is centered in a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) framework with a strengths-based focus on recovery.  I also draw inspiration from Psychodynamic and Humanistic approaches to counseling in order to create an individualized treatment plan for each and every client.

I work with individuals across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, and young adults, and I am especially interested in supporting clients navigating life transitions, stress, anxiety, identity development, and emotional regulation. My approach is informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused techniques, helping clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, build practical coping skills, and focus on strengths and solutions that promote growth and resilience.

I would love a chance to work with you if you feel stuck, alone, or out of ideas on how to feel "good" again. I want a chance to help you learn more about yourself and why these symptoms are present and the best strategies to manage them for you.

My approach is grounded in a compassion-focused and strength-based perspective. I draw from many modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT).

I utilize an integrative approach to counseling – meaning I use tools and techniques from various counseling theories in order to best treat the client and meet them where they are now.

I have more than 15 years of experience helping individuals seeking relief, clarity, and renewed direction. Using CBT, DBT, and solution focused approaches, I help clients navigate depression, anxiety, emotional distress, and life transitions with practical tools and compassionate support.

Taking a holistic approach, I integrate cognitive, behavioral, and spiritual techniques influenced by my background in music education and youth ministry. My training encompasses modalities, including ACT, CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, and PCIT, ensuring that you receive comprehensive and effective care.

I believe that therapy is a unique and deeply personal experience that looks different for every individual. My goal as a therapist is to empower you to take an active role in your own healing journey.  I'm excited to walk alongside you!
