Great to meet you!

My specialty is in working with women who are looking to discuss a variety of issues including relationships (communication challenges, dating frustrations, marital issues, family connections, and life transitions such as empty nest or divorce), also work stress, grief, and anxiety or depression related to the situation. I have 10 years of experience as an LPC working in private practice, both in person and virtual.


My more recent training is on attachment styles and improving communication.

My approach to therapy

I tend to be non-judgmental and supportive. We all have a different life path and different life experiences. I like to empower my clients and provide a safe space for you to feel heard. Due to my open minded approach and specializing in relationships, I have experience working with poly individuals as well as stress from infidelity.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, I will do a quick intake to gather some basic information, and then we can talk about what brings you to therapy and what you would like help with. Then we can put together a plan for moving forward. My approach is very conversational and relaxed. If you've never seen a therapist before, rest assured I will explain the process and help you set a pace that's comfortable for you.


If my calendar isn't showing availability for booking, feel free to reach out to me at [email protected]. I work mornings sometimes on Mondays and Wednesdays. Please note I am licensed in NJ, MO, and CO. I currently live in Missouri. It will take a sec for me to figure out the time zone differences when you request an appointment via email. :)
