Great to meet you!

My favorite saying is, "Shame dies when stories are told in safe spaces" - Ann Voskamp. I work very hard to create that safe space for the folks that choose to work with me. I am just another human on this journey with professional expertise in helping you tell your story and process your life experiences. I look forward to the opportunity to learn more about you!

A bit about my approach to therapy

I hold the belief that clients are experts in their lives. You may have some areas where you need support and some skills built up, but my goal is to always meet you where you're at and support your goals.

Beyond my Masters Degree and additional graduate coursework I have taken, I am also trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for clients ages 3 - 19 years of age, EMDR, and Level 3 Gottman Method Couples Counseling.

What you can expect from our first session

I help clients identify their goals from the framework of, 'How will you know you're ready to graduate from therapy?' It's a great way to help you figure out your goals. Therapy outcomes are rooted in the work that you do in session and what you take with you and implement outside of session. I hope to foster an environment that helps support your goals and best hopes for therapy.
