Hello! I am a seasoned clinician at The Foundry Counseling Center. We believe in forging a new future together. Each of us go through experiences that can act as a crucible for change.

I work with high-functioning adults—often executives, entrepreneurs, and professionals—who have survived domestic violence, emotional abuse, or chronic trauma, and are ready to move beyond survival mode into real stability and direction. If you’re successful on the outside but exhausted, hypervigilant, or disconnected on the inside, this is where the real work begins.

I believe in meeting my clients where they're at. They are the expert in their own story. I'm just here to listen, help process, maybe challenge, and encourage them in their journey. I went to Newman University for my Master's Degree and went on to get my Clinical License. I have worked with varying populations including teens, adults, geriatrics, the prison population, couples counseling, and Christian Counseling. I enjoy working with people who have been through trauma or grief or have experienced anxiety or depression.

There are seasons in our life when we realize that we need help. This isn’t because something is wrong with us, but rather a choice to not let life tear us down. As life changes, we can become overwhelmed, feel misunderstood, experience anxious thoughts, worry, and have fear of the unknown.While some people may brush these feelings off and ignore them, you chose to recognize them and do something about it. I’m proud of you and am happy to support you on this journey, because I too have been there.
