I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education from Union Institute & University and a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University. This background gives me a unique perspective on development across all ages from children to adults.
My approach is rooted in deep compassion and collaboration. I believe you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to provide a judgment-free space where you can show up exactly as you are. Whether you're feeling anxious, stuck, overwhelmed, or simply not like yourself, we'll work together at a pace that feels right for you.
You are not broken, and you don't need to be "fixed." My focus is on creating a safe, supportive relationship where we can gently explore your experiences and build a greater sense of safety within yourself.
I specialize in supporting adults, teens, and children navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and trauma. Grounded in Person-Centered and Trauma-Informed principles, our work is tailored to your unique needs. I also offer expressive art therapy techniques like drawing or painting for times when words feel like too much. No artistic experience needed; it's all about the process and never the product.
Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my family, watching movies, and having deep conversations. These remind me of the connection and genuineness I hope to foster in our work together.
You are in the driver's seat. We'll go at your pace. It's not about changing who you are. It's about creating the space for you to heal and build a life that feels more meaningful to you.
