Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has spent the past 17 years partnering with people on their journey to wellness. I specialize in supporting those who identify as women between the ages of 21-65 who desire informed, compassionate, creative, yet practical support to live well even as they manage trauma, sexual assault/abuse, depression, anxiety, grief, and loss, workplace or career challenges, relationships, and identity shifts and changes.

I earned a BA in Human Development and Family Science, an MS in Mental Health Counseling, and have a professional career that includes working in non profit space, higher education, and my sweet spot of private practice.

My approach to therapy

I partner with clients to provide effective clinical practices that support and equip them to process past and present experiences while strategically progressing forward to live their lives well. While I utilize talk therapy, I also incorporate writing, reading, drawing, role play, and guided imagery to support clients and pull from CBT, systems, and humanitistic therapies.

What you can expect from me

Wellness is your birthright; you are already worthy. This means you are worthy of a mental health practitioner who will partner with you, support you, and equip you to live the life of wellness you believe you are capable of, but may be struggling to cultivate alone. When clients leave sessions with me they can expect to feel heard, seen, that they aren’t alone, and they have options and practical steps reflective of their uniqueness to incorporate in their life before the next session.
