As a former Big 10 athlete, I am hard working and dedicated to my clients in counseling children, adolescents, adults and parents. I provide a supportive and safe environment with education about neuroscience, self-compassion, meditation and self-care.

Our early life experiences shape how we show up in our lives and relationships. Sometimes those experiences create patterns where we feel stuck and disconnected from ourselves and our partners. Within an accepting and empathetic environment, we can explore ways to shift those patterns to create more meaningful and intentional relationship

The therapists in our practice joined together because of our shared belief that our clients, who have reached out for help in managing and overcoming the challenges their lives, each have a unique set of strengths that often need to be better understood and developed. In our own styles, we each use the therapeutic relationship to understand what is interfering with an individual's sense of fulfillment in life. We approach therapy from the perspective that, at our core, our clients are health seeking but may be repeating old patterns that are not serving them well.
