Great to meet you!

For more than 10 years, I have worked with persons from ages 8-80 as a teacher, school counselor and as a therapist, I have had the pleasure of learning so much about people to strengthen, encourage and educate others during life’s most challenging seasons. Including but not limited to teenagers who are giving their parents a hard time, getting the most out of the educational system, and bringing families closer together. I am here to do this for you too. Experience with trauma, self-harm, grief, anxiety and more.

My approach to therapy

Are you experiencing a lack of direction in life? Confused about a diagnosis? Struggling to understand or connect with your child(ren)? Do you have an unhealthy relationship with money? So many people bombard us with cliches like “Life is what you make it, etc" when the unexpected happens. Not only does this usually make us feel worse or unheard, we usually do not know what those sayings even mean. People typically mean well when using these phrases, however, we need practical remedies to the “cards we were dealt” in our personal lives. It’s rare that the average person listens to us, validates us, AND helps us process what’s happening so that we can wholeheartedly move on.

What you can expect from me

My passion and commitment to you are to help you heal by giving you a safe space to breathe, heal, think, vent, and process your life in a healthy way. I am here to give you tools and coping skills so that even while things are difficult, you have the support to overcome them.
