Sometimes it is hard to navigate life's challenges. These challenges are often related to the connections we have with ourselves, others, and how we make sense of life events. As a therapist/counselor, my goal is to develop a safe environment where we partner to improve those connections and create healing. I believe in using warmth, honesty, humor, and current research-based methods to achieve this goal.

The idea of beginning therapy can be incredibly overwhelming. It is often a time when many of us feel our most vulnerable, whether this is your first experience or you’ve been through a previous therapeutic journey. It is my hope and intention to create an inviting, safe, and inclusive space when you enter my office. I graduated from Simpson College with my Bachelor of Arts Degree in 2015 before pursuing my Master of Science Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Drake University.
