Wherever you're at on your journey, it's an honor to support you as you share vulnerable parts of your story. At some point, most of us can benefit from support in finding our selves and the path forward. I primarily use a person-centered approach, which means I meet you where you are with compassion and acceptance. When appropriate, other approaches can be incorporated that are evidence based tools. I enjoy a Christian approach for those who request it. Everyone's story is unique in how they experience it. I hope to come alongside you, build connections, and support you through life's challenges.

Hello and welcome! Congrats on taking the first step to healing! I work with adults 18+ who have struggled with various mental health diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and adjustment disorders, among many others. My approach to counseling is giving my clients a safe space to really open up and have someone listen to them in a non-judgmental way. No matter what you are currently going through or what you have been through in the past, I believe everyone deserves to be treated with respect.

Life can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate at times, especially when significant changes and traumatic events leave us feeling lost, alone, and undone. These circumstances can impact the way we view ourselves, others, and the world around us, especially when the tools we have do not seem to provide relief from the stresses of life and the feelings that accompany them. I can help guide your mental health journey so you can get back to focusing on the things that matter most. Together, we can learn to manage the challenges of life.

I did not come into this work on accident. I believe that therapists can only take people as far as they have journeyed themselves. I am here because I have had my own struggles, sadness, hurt, trauma and growth and it has led me to become passionate about the ability we have to heal. I believe that being truly seen, truly understood, and having someone to help guide you through the challenges of life is profoundly powerful to our happiness, wholeness and experience of the world and each other.

Life is often stressful and relationships get messy. It’s hard to navigate and work through major life transitions and adjustments especially when they are complex and you are facing more than one at a time. There is hope and there is help available. You are not alone. I believe counseling can be a beneficial healing relationship experience that requires collaboration between client and therapist. I enjoy meeting and working with people, helping connect them to resources, identify their strengths, work through life challenges, and begin healing while offering support, encouragement, and a listening ear.

I believe a counselor’s job is to be an advocate for their client. The client is the pilot and the counselor is the co-pilot. We will work together on establishing a therapeutic relationship, overcoming past, present and future obstacles while accomplishing collaborative goals.

Marriage and relationships are difficult - and anyone that tells you otherwise is lying. It takes work to be present with each other in the easiest times, and is often a struggle when things are difficult. As a client-focused therapist, my goal is to help individuals and couples delve into the yuck and work together to make sense of the chaos that we are experiencing. Often times the chaos and noise combines to create a feeling of distance in a relationship - leaving what was once a partnership feeling more like roommates. I aspire to help couples overcome the obstacles, and move forward in a way that feels safe and healthy.

Waitlist for new clients
With each stage in life, we are faced with new challenges. Sometimes new challenges may be too difficult to deal with alone and other times, we carry old problems with us. In order to live a happier, healthier life, we need to address those problems head on. With years of experience as a high school teacher and now as a counselor, I have experience working with adolescent problems, divorce or separation, foster and adoption, loss, cultural challenges, and coping skills. I have worked with clients that only speak Spanish and am accepting of all sexual orientations. My goal is to provide a safe, judgement-free space for you.
