I prioritize spending quality time with loved ones and recharge by taking daily walks in nature and by the lake. I enjoy lounging, learning history, visiting new restaurants and playing various kinds of games.

Professionally, I've counseled individuals from diverse backgrounds, including members from the LGBTQ+ community. I help clients learn to manage their mood and validate their emotions as well as improve their communication skills, which may help your relationship with yourself and others.

My specialties include working on challenges with: anxiety, depression, grief/loss, anger management, bipolar, self-esteem, communication skills & trauma recovery. I focus on helping my clients manage symptoms/stressors, rediscover meaning and connection with themselves and their relationships. My approach is primarily CBT, along with concepts in ACT & DBT.

In our sessions, we work together to bring balance to your thoughts & emotions. You'll learn practical tools to confidently respond to life's stressors & embrace your strengths. I provide a safe, validating, non-judgmental space where you can be your true self. I will meet you where you are & focus on improving your skills & sense of self, creating momentum toward your goals. Your overall quality of life may improve as you make gains in applying evidence based tools. Ready to start this journey?
