I am a neuro-inclusive/neurodiversity-affirming pre-licensed counselor that enjoys working with autistic folks. I have experience providing support for a wide range of ages and autistic experiences- from those who are newly diagnosed and navigating that process to those who are struggling with the impacts of having to mask in order to survive a world not built for them.

Therapy for MEN and COUPLES. Many of us have struggled with troubling, unwanted thoughts, compulsive behaviors, broken vows, traumatic childhoods, or some enslaving addiction. Our lives are pockmarked by pain, and wounded by those we love (and we have hurt them in turn). However, this pain does not have to have the final word. We can live a life we love, one that is consistent with our deepest values. A life of peace, tenderness, freedom, courage, and love.

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a focus in Veterinary Social Work. I love to integrate the human-animal bond into my work as a therapist. I have experience with a variety of treatment topics. I love to work with clients to help process grief, loss, and life transitions. I also have special experience working with individuals experiencing pet loss, which is often an overlooked or undervalued treatment area.

I was drawn to counseling as a career because of the incredible personal experience I have had with healing in community. We are not meant to go through life alone. My passion and heart is to help others succeed and thrive in life. I want to partner alongside and support clients in their journey towards holistic health (mind, body, spirit) and healing. We are often wounded in relationships and the therapy relationship can be an incredible restorative and corrective tool.

Have you felt like expressing yourself is difficult? Do you feel like no matter how hard you try, you just cant find the words to get at what is going on at your core? Art therapy sessions tap into that creative space in between words and expression and help unearth more than words alone could. I use a mix of regular talk therapy and art therapy sessions to help dig through personal identity and the parts of ourselves that are hard to describe to others and allow those parts to shine through. You do not have to be an artist to be seen in these sessions, just the willingness to embrace creativity!

I love to work with teens & adult individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression, the impacts of trauma, self worth issues, and women’s issues. It can be overwhelming to sort through all the old thoughts, emotions, and relationship patterns on our own. You deserve a supportive place to find your truth & the space to heal.

It is hard to see our own worth when we feel ignored or devalued by the world. The LGBTQIA+ community is particularly vulnerable to relational and spiritual trauma, leading to feelings of shame and worthlessness, and making them more susceptible to depression, anxiety, poor sense of self, etc. Over the last 5 years, I have worked with individuals from all walks of life dealing with these and a multitude of other issues as they have allowed me to be a part of their healing process.

It is my hope to partner with you in learning how to first be with and then move through life's painful experiences in such a way that feels authentic to you. If you have unresolved grief, trauma or other barriers to your ability to thrive, I would love to join you in opening new doors to embodied and conscious living. I enjoy working with folks from most walks of life, those with body-based concerns such as chronic illness, chronic pain or difficult to diagnose physical symptoms that may be having an impact on mental health.

I love counseling! I would feel honored to walk with YOU and work out solutions to issues causing hurt, conflict, and/or broken relationships. I work with everyone and work with most insurance companies (except Medicare) and many EAPs. My primary practice focuses on the value and worth of women. I confront shame and self-blame. I also see teenagers and work with their families as desired.

My ideal client has a gut feeling that they are not living up to their potential in life. They refuse to give up until they see their dreams come true! These clients may struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and addiction issues, but they also desire to set boundaries and overcome trauma and past hurts. Their goals are to learn more about their inner self and how to be fully transparent, spiritually balanced and emotionally present with those that are a part of their inner circle. Although I prefer counseling from a Christian counseling modality, I am open to working with anyone ready to make positive changes in life!

I am a Board Certified Christian Counselor who works with women to help them move from feeling overwhelmed and stuck in life to being able to thrive in their homes and relationships. I am trained in emotional abuse, trauma, the effects of narcissism in relationships, and grief. I specialize in helping women overcome the pain of domestic abuse, church hurt, and spiritual abuse. I also work with many women who are struggling with burnout and extreme stress, or who are struggling with perfectionism, overthinking, people pleasing, low self worth, feelings of shame, or trouble finding their purpose and calling in life.

You are waking up to the realization that the one who is going to break the cycle of dysfunction in your family is you. There has to be more to life than just existing within the patterns that have come to feel normal; your heart yearns for a more meaningful existence. Still, you aren't sure how to break out of the cycle, set boundaries and figure out what you really want and need to do. I get it, taking full responsibility for your own well-being and creating a better future for yourself sounds like a daunting task, however, you don't have to do it alone.

Nothing seems to work. “Talk therapy” doesn’t cut it. Medications don’t do the trick. Self-help books are garbage. At this point, you’d do anything to have a different life. To be different.
