You're here. You've taken the first step. And it's a big one. It's a brave one. The pain of broken relationships, life-transitions, loneliness, or feelings of unworthiness can cause us to forgot who (and sometimes, why) we are. Therapy is a tool that can help you change your life, build confidence, and live a life you long for and deserve. I believe in the process because I’ve seen it work - being in a safe space with someone you can tell your vulnerable story to is transformative. With empathy at the heart of my practice, my mission is to understand where you are to help you land in the place you want to be. On your terms.

My approach to therapy is rooted in connection and safety. I believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship for healing and growth, and I strive to create a safe, accepting space for each of my clients. I approach therapy from a trauma-informed, psychodynamic perspective, exploring with clients how past experiences, attachment, and trauma have impacted them. I believe in the importance of acknowledging the whole self in the healing process, and I often incorporate ideas from Somatic Experiencing, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, playtherapy/expressive arts, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into counseling.

The most rewarding therapy sessions occur with clients who are motivated to make progress towards the goals they set. I strongly believe that the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client is of upmost importance to the client meeting their goals. I strive to build a trusting, supportive, and safe relationship with each of my clients. I believe everyone has their own unique story to tell. I enjoy hearing that story and helping people overcome the issues that can surface over a lifetime. I see adults and adolescents in my therapy practice as well as the occasional couple.

I know the courage it takes to walk into someone's office for the first time, so I strive to create an encouraging environment.

I believe hope is a powerful force. So if your lacking hope, I have extra you can borrow. Allot of my practice involves trauma work with individuals and couples and I utilize EMDR and Gottman method.

I know how difficult and daunting it is to start therapy. My goal is to make this process as comfortable as possible for you. It all began growing up a military kid and my pursuit of competitive sports and academia, and how those experiences taught me the importance of connection and a deep need for support. It made me interested in learning and understanding how people felt and their patterns of coping, valuing the “wholeness” of a person rather than perfection we are taught to run after. My desires for helping others continued with life experiences such as getting married, relocating to new cities, and becoming a mother.

After a brief stint as a touring musician and 20 years in the equipment finance industry, I finally found my perfect work-fit: helping families find healing from previous hurts, cope and move through current life difficulties, and prepare for a healthy future. I work with children and young adults who are dealing with trauma, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and grief/loss. As a parent, myself, I understand that when our children struggle, we struggle as well. So, I provide support to parents who are navigating difficult challenges with their children.

It is truly a privilege to witness people experience growth, healing, and long lasting change. I find joy in creating a warm, collaborative environment for individuals who desire to process and grow through life’s challenges and transitions. It is my hope that the individuals I work with leave therapy feeling deeply understood yet gently challenged. I have experience working with people in various seasons of life, however, I primarily work with preteens, teens, young adults, and women working through issues related to anxiety, depression, loss, life transitions, self esteem issues, difficult relationships, and trauma.
