Great to meet you!

I specialize in working with teens and adults who struggle with anxiety, social anxiety, challenges with friendships or dating, perfectionism, people pleasing, faith and spirituality, self-confidence, ADHD or neurodivergence, and identity or sense of self. I love providing premarital counseling and early-marriage counseling, and love to integrate client's faith journeys into their counseling if requested.

My approach to therapy

I have heard from clients that counseling with me feels like talking to a big sister. I am not a stiff, clinical, blank stare kind of therapist. I want therapy to immediately feel like you are talking to someone who understands you and can be human in the room and will laugh with you and will encourage you to grow towards your goals.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we'll go over your goals, what to expect from this process, and just spend some time getting to know each other. We will go over your history so that I can know and understand your unique story. The first session is all about establishing that connection, and making sure you feel comfortable and excited to start writing your next chapter!
