I became a counselor because I am passionate about helping people and I find joy in witnessing the healing power of transformation. As the oldest child, I was the "go-to person" in my family and often had to be the mediator helping to resolve conflict. I developed the skill of effective listening and possess the ability to help people identify and articulate their inner experiences. I have had to navigate life transitions, trauma, grief/loss in my own life and I decided to make a career out of helping others do the same.

I work best with people who are feeling anxious, stuck, uncertain, or in pain due to adjustment difficulties, relationship issues, family conflict, substance use, and unresolved trauma or grief.

I am most excited to work with couples.

I want all clients to know that they have the power within themselves to navigate and overcome life's challenges. Sometimes we just need help to access the power from within.

I am inspired by curiosity.

In our first session, you can expect to get to know me as a therapist and how I work with clients so we can determine if my style of therapy is going to help you meet your needs.

In the first session, I hope to accomplish managing expectations for therapy, building a therapeutic rapport with the client, and identifying the goals for therapy.

I enjoy spending time with family and friends, watching movies, playing board games, traveling, trying new things, and reading books.

I am defined by my values. I value family, spirituality, friendship, freedom, creativity, laughter, and honesty.
