I became a counselor to make a positive impact on my community one person and one relationship at a time. We’re in this together, and I want to do my part to make the world a safer, kinder place.

People of all ages and backgrounds are welcome, I only ask that my clients are active in participating in the therapeutic process. I work best with clients who want to make a change and are willing to put in the effort it takes to see it through. For my younger clients, we can do the best work when their families are engaged and active in the therapeutic process as well.

You are the boss in the therapy room. You are the expert on you and what your goals are, and you are an important part of the therapeutic process. I am a coach and a guide with skills, expertise, and knowledge to help support this process.

In our first session I will do my best to get a clear picture of where you are, where you’ve been, and where you’d like to go. We will collaborate to identify the path we can take together to get you there. In the beginning stages of therapy we will focus on cultivating a safe relationship where you feel comfortable, seen, and supported.

Some formative experiences for me that have shaped me as a therapist include being a musician, an animal lover, a gardener, a faith-based person, a daughter, a wife, a sister, a student, and a griever. I haven’t lived your story or walked in your shoes, and I keep this in mind as I start to walk beside you and take the role of listener, helper, teacher, and guide.

My number one priority with each of my clients is to see you as the unique and complex person that you are, with a story that’s in the process of unfolding. I approach each of my client’s stories with compassionate curiosity, without judgment, and work with you to identify what treatment style works best for your needs and goals in therapy.
