I knew I always wanted to help people from the time I was a child, then after taking a class on mental illnesses in my undergraduate studies, I decided advocating for those who are in pain and reaching out was my calling. During the last five years that has been affirmed. I hope you will take the time to reach out to me when you are ready.

I really enjoy working with adults, but have experience working with children as young as four years old to older adults. I work best with clients who are ready to believe in themselves and I hope those clients know they are not alone.

I get excited when there is a challenge. Maybe a client does not know what they want out of counseling, but when they find it and see their self-worth, it makes my passion of helping others rewarding.

Going to a stranger and telling them your deepest thoughts is scary, but takes great courage. So, if you are considering finding a counselor to talk to then you have strength. You are capable of doing anything in the world once you set your mind to it.

Thriveworks offers an inviting environment, supportive staff, and a chance to work on becoming the best version of myself as a therapist.

My son, the hope for others, and knowing listening to someone if even it is only for a few minutes can spark a positive change.

We will have introductions, complete the initial intake, establish goals, and time permitting incorporate a fun activity.

Building rapport takes time and I cannot learn everything about you in an hour. If you are willing to be open, then I want to set some goals, hear what your love to do, and make sure the environment is safe.

Boundaries are important in the therapeutic process and challenges might arise, but you have someone cheering you on every step of the way.

I love spending time with my family, getting outdoors, or reading a book.

I want to see the good in others, so focusing on a silver lining can bring compassion and humbles me.
