I approach counseling with the mindset that the therapeutic relationship is essential. In forming this therapeutic relationship, I work together with the client to process the problems that are presented. I believe the process is a collaboration between the counselor and the client and that all people have purpose and deserve understanding, love, and respect. My hope is that through the counseling, the client will become more aware of their patterns, life story, and importance, resulting in an increase in confidence and positive life changes. Overall, I hope that counseling will lead to a more fulfilled life, healing, and wholeness.

As a holistic systemic therapist, I believe that people are shaped by their experiences and the people they’ve encountered along the way. I work from a place of non-judgement and celebrate body positivity, 2SLGBTQ+, and neurodiversity. I tend to use interventions from various theories, and will do my best to shape sessions so that they best fit my clients and their needs.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Perhaps you are wanting to discover more about who you really are. Therapy is not a one-sided conversation, with little opportunity for interaction or getting to experience each other as real people. I can assure you that I am as real as it gets! I will work with you to create a supportive relationship that will allow us to face the problems you are experiencing and create a path to healing. It is through connection and trust that healing happens.

I have been in the mental health field since 2014 and have worked with various ages and demographics. With a background that includes being a military child, collegiate athlete, and now a parent myself, I have found that I enjoy working with people who are finding themselves in a time of change. At this time, I am seeing clients 14 and older who need extra support in finding coping skills, navigating symptoms of depression or anxiety, communication skills, relationship challenges, and boundary work among other goals. At this time, I will also be taking a break from couples therapy and will update once accepting new clients.

I offer therapy services to any and all individuals seeking support and healing in their lives. Many clients seek out counseling when things in their lives seem out of control or they feel unheard. They want to speak to someone who is unbiased, honest, and who has empathy for their situation. I also have groups available for anger management, parenting, and domestic violence. I also provide assessments and evaluations for family law, criminal, and dependency cases as a separate service.

Maybe you know exactly why you are feeling the way you do and you need a different perspective or unbiased listener. -Or maybe you aren't feeling like yourself lately- unfulfilled, disconnected from your world or the people you love. Our mental health is both directly and indirectly influenced by our life experiences, how we are shown love and respect, and large-scale social/societal issues. I will be your co-navigator & support in finding relief and balance through healing. I offer EMDR & mindfulness-based and cognitive therapy that aids in removing the negative emotional charge of life experiences affecting your daily life.

Accepting New Clients: We all experience challenges that take us off course or leave us feeling "off." Sometimes, time is all that is needed; other times, we need more. If you are hurting, anxious, scared, or grieving, you deserve someone who will listen and offer empathy, understanding, and warmth. This is my specialty. Counseling is a collaborative process. The therapeutic relationship between you and me is essential in helping you find new and effective ways of navigating your challenges and reaching your goals.
