My Approach

I provide a compassionate and supportive space for individuals navigating life's challenges using a person-centered approach. I welcome clients age 10 and older, and I work with those facing a variety of concerns, including, but not limited to: anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem, stress, anger, relationship difficulties, sexuality/infidelity, divorce, codependency, career, grief, other life transitions, self-harm, and suicidal ideation.

Whether you're facing a specific crisis or seeking support through a difficult season of life, I will walk alongside you with empathy, insight, and care. My goal as your counselor is to help facilitate a deeper level of self-awareness while highlighting your strengths and empowering you with skills to use throughout your life. To do this, we will work together as we explore authenticity, connection, freedom, and purpose.

What It’s Like to Work With Me

I believe in meeting each person where they are, offering a nonjudgmental environment where healing, growth, and self-discovery can unfold. I aim to create a safe space where you can feel comfortable being YOU.

Fun Facts

• I have ridden horses since I was 5 years old, and I won a Reserve World Championship in 2015.

• In my spare time, I enjoy competitive dog agility, relaxing in nature, going on motorcycle road trips, baking, and paddleboarding.
