I have worked extensively with children, teens, adults, and families dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, self-harm, suicidal ideation, trauma, parenting issues, relationship problems, and more.
I often say, counseling can be a bit like cleaning out a closet. You have to take things out, go through and organize them, and then put them back where they need to go. In a similar fashion, counseling can be messy, but with time and hard work, can lead to healthier, more enjoyable living. Throughout this life, we all have our individual struggles and hardships, but we weren't meant to carry them alone. No matter who you are or what you've been through, there is hope. In our sessions together, I strive to come alongside you in the pursuit of that hope and restorative healing.

I'm passionate about working with college students/young adults, adults, couples, and fellow healers.
Some of us have been taught to fear or push away certain emotions and parts of who we really are. We’ve been taught to disregard what our body and feelings are telling us in order to make others comfortable. While this might seem like the path to approval, it often leads to shame and disconnection. A way to combat these messages are to move towards authenticity and acceptance of all our parts. To learn to advocate for ourselves, heal from our wounds, and stand firm in who we are. I would be honored to work alongside you in the journey.

I work with adults and families who are facing symptoms of anxiety, depression, behavioral issues or other barriers to emotional well-being.

With a working understanding of family systems, attachment science, personality disorders and trauma-informed practices, I especially enjoy working with people who are challenged in relationships with their parents, spouses or children. I am also passionate about helping adult clients become "cycle breakers" and gain relief from generational dysfunction.
