I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from Missouri State University and have worked in the health and human services field for 10 years. I began my career as a substance use counselor for adolescents, where I learned the importance of meeting people with compassion and patience. For the past three years, I’ve worked as a school-based therapist, supporting students ages 10 to 21 as they navigated challenges like trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions.
I specialize in trauma-focused care, using a strengths-based, person-centered approach. This means you set the pace, and together we build on your strengths while exploring challenges with respect and care. My goal is to create a supportive environment where you feel truly heard, validated, and empowered to move toward healing and growth.
In our sessions, you will leave feeling heard, supported, and valued. My warm, empathetic, and creative approach allows us to build a strong rapport as we work through challenges together. You’ll also leave with practical tools, new insights, and a sense of empowerment to move forward with more confidence and balance in your life.
If therapy has been on your mind, this may be the time to take that next step. You deserve to feel supported and understood, and I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.
