My approach to therapy is to walk along side my client in a caring and nonjudgmental manner. I believe everyone has a story and when we listen we understand and are better able to assist with their emotional hurts. Everyone has struggles but it's much easier to work through them with a supportive hand. I am here to help you recognize your strengths and build on them until they are more prevalent than your distress. My education started with a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from Indiana University and a Master's in Social Work from Simmons School of Social Work.

It can be difficult to manage “all the things” and making time for oneself can be easily sacrificed. While it is understandable, it can be considered an act of resistance to set aside place for your whole self and healing. One hour, a place for you to show up, to rediscover the self, parts changed and altered over time; explore the “stuff” in your soul. Therapists, couples, and women are specialties of mine. If you are seeking couples counseling, it can be difficult to grow into your full, whole selves together, but it is also worth the hard work to show up as your whole self, and honor your partner’s whole self.

I believe we were each designed with love and intention, and God desires each of us to live joyful, meaningful lives. However, I know so many experiences can get in the way of how we truly want to live. I want to help you identify and overcome the obstacles and struggles that hold you back the most - stress, depression, anxiety, overwhelm, doubt, unhelpful habits, etc. - and help you discover what it looks like to live with freedom, joy, and purpose instead.

I enjoy working with people to meet them right where they are and walk alongside them in navigating the difficult places life can bring us to. Most often these difficult places are not of our choice yet even if they are, there can be a beauty in using our pain as a stepping stone to change paths towards growth and healing.

I am passionate about working with individuals and couples to help them process areas where they're stuck, assisting them in moving forward toward freedom and empowerment over their life. I believe that the therapeutic relationship between the client and counselor is a powerful one where forward momentum and growth can take place. It's important that the exploration happens within the client, and is not authored by the counselor's perspective.

Ever feel like you're carrying the world on your shoulders, thinking you have to handle everything alone, only to feel suffocated by it all? It's a common struggle, believe me. But here's the scoop: counseling isn't about getting a to-do list or being labeled "weak" for reaching out. It's about finding a cozy spot to unpack what's on your mind and in your heart. It's a sanctuary where you can just be you, no judgments or expectations. So, if you're feeling overwhelmed, know this: seeking help is a brave move towards healing. You're not alone in this journey.

Dr. Viktor E. Frankl's words, "In some ways suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds a meaning, such as the meaning of a sacrifice." embodies much of how I approach each of my clients: to help each of them find meaning and purpose through that which brings them to my office. Whether I am counseling a struggling married couple, an adolescent dealing with depression, or someone experiencing chronic mental illness, I feel that each individual can become whole if they are able to embrace, accept and transform their suffering.

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
