My passion for counseling started during my own counseling journey as I was dealing with the loss of very close family members. I realized from then that my life calling is to help other people in similar situations, not just in grief, going through their darkest times. I find great joy in doing this.

I work best with adolescents and adults who struggle with mental health and/or substance use issues.

I am most exited to work with clients who are wanting and willing to make changes. Change is a scary thing! But, we can create a safe space for this change.

I wish all clients knew that they have the ability within themselves to make the changes they want to see. Therapy is not a space where I will tell you how to fix something/what to do. Therapy is a collaborative space to gain a better understanding so that you can make those changes.

I came to Thriveworks because I love the advocacy and client-focused nature of their practice. Being client-focused is a priority for me.

Seeing clients grow is my biggest inspiration in this field.

In an initial session with me, you can expect a lot of easy-going conversation as we are just starting to get to know one another. This initial session is a time for me to start getting to know you and the reasons behind coming to therapy, as well as a time for you to get to know me as a therapist.

My time off and fun time includes baking and cooking, spending time with family and friends, doing needlepoint, and being in nature. I love to bake sourdough bread and try new recipes for my family!
