I am a school counselor and a licensed professional counselor. I received my Master’s degree in school counseling in 2018 and have been working in schools with students between 6th grade and 12th grade since. Junior high and high school students are dealing with more stress and anxiety than ever these days stemming from social issues, gender and sexual identity issues, academic concerns and decisions around their college and career plans. I discuss these issues daily and work to help students ease their stress and anxiety around them.

If you're reading this, you've likely been carrying a heavy load for quite some time now. You're navigating a complex maze of emotions: anxiety gripping your chest, depression casting shadows on bright moments, trauma triggering painful memories, and stress buzzing in the background.

But with support, we can untangle these knots and help you find peace and clarity.

I believe everyone has a story, a unique story. Sometimes our story needs editing, sometimes it needs revision. Sometimes it just needs the next chapter to be written. This is what I believe can be accomplished with therapy but only when the person has decided the story needs to be explored. I work to help individuals better understand their unique personality and the way they process their thoughts and emotions and how these thoughts and emotions impact their relationships.
