Sometimes life can feel overwhelming, uncertain, or stressful and we can feel unsure about how to navigate through those next steps. Unfortunately, those feelings of stress and uncertainty don't discriminate based on age and even young children can feel the weight and effects of those challenges. My hope and goal is to be able to come alongside of you and join you and your child's support team as you learn to navigate those life stressors and challenges. I can provide counseling from a Christian perspective for those that are interested. I am client-centered and strengths-based.

I think the ideal client is somebody that needs to be heard, and needs to be seen in a space that feels comfortable to them. I think they will have that opportunity in working with me and be able to change their own lives in the ways that suit them. Sometimes, we focus on the deep things that bring us into therapy, and sometimes we end up playing a game, talking about the day to day, or even laughing hysterically.

"Ego says, 'Once everything falls into place, I'll feel peace.' Spirit says, 'Find your peace, and then everything will fall into place.'" (Marianne Williamson). I believe that peace and quality of life is achieved by working in reverse. That is, going inward to rediscover the divinity that rests in you. My objective is to encourage clients to use their strengths and resources to recognize their inner wisdom, thus allowing them to become their authentic self. Working together, we can identify barriers to wellbeing, explore solutions that empower, and expand awareness.

Do you struggle to connect with your life in a meaningful way? Has life become messy and overwhelming in a way that you didn't expect? Does it seem like you spend all of your time and energy taking care of others and have lost your path to personal happiness? Maybe you are the parent of neurodiverse child, caretaker of an aging parent, or just have a million responsibilities between work, family, and community. Maybe you are trying to do it all and are your own worst critic. Sometimes life throws a lot at us, and things don't go as expected.

I am passionate about helping people to be the best version of themselves. Everyone comes into therapy with a unique set of strengths and goals, and I hope to build upon those throughout the counseling relationship. I especially enjoy working with teens and young adults, as I know how critical, yet confusing, the transition into adulthood can be.

The most endearing part about therapy is watching people uncover parts about themselves or their lives that lead to healing and change. Often someone seeks support from an outside source to help them gain a sense of control over their lives. Through the therapeutic process, they gain control over themselves and that leads to solutions they were not aware of. It's an honor to guide those who want to help themselves and create a life they are proud of.

I believe that resilience is in all of us and healing is a path we can choose to walk at any time if we are willing to take the first step. Sometimes even helping professionals need their own helper, someone to listen to their experiences and walk alongside them as they process the challenges of helping. Focusing on secondary traumatic stress and occupational stress issues I believe my role as a therapist is to support clients as they navigate their healing process.

I became a therapist because I believe people can do hard things. Regardless of where your path has led you - or has yet to lead you - as your therapist I will meet you where you are and empower you to find your inner strength. Everyone is at a different stage of their healing journey and I will walk alongside you on yours. When we work together, your sense of safety and security is my biggest priority; I firmly believe healing cannot happen in the presence of judgement. I welcome and celebrate all identities and appreciate the individuality of your experiences.

Each person has a unique life experience; the challenges they face and strengths they draw from are wholly their own. My aim as a therapist is to help clients see things from a new perspective, and tap into their strengths and resilience to meet their goals. I see each client as a person, rather than a diagnosis, and try to meet them where they are at in life’s journey. Together, we collaborate to form a person-centered treatment plan that reflects the client’s needs and goals.

Female Therapists
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.
