Life seems to have this habit of creating changes and challenges that leave us feeling blindsided and overwhelmed. And even more, I notice that sometimes there is this unrealistic expectation on us to manage these changes and challenges on our own, in private, and without flaw. But where does that expectation come from? Why do we hold ourselves to this standard which keeps us isolated and hurt? I want to rewrite this standard and invite you into a space where you can explore.

In my office, you aren’t alone. I am here to offer you a safe space to process and explore what is no longer working for you. I believe that we are designed to learn and grow from our experiences. This is why in session I empower you to share what's been on your mind, uncensored, so you can find a deeper understanding of yourself and develop strategies to take with you into your life outside of the counseling room. 

I know it can feel scary to begin, but when I work with clients, I work to find what suits you best as an individual and there are all sorts of creative ways to do this together.

And I want to let you in on something that not everybody knows: although counseling is often hard work, it is also fun! I find that the nervous feelings tend to fade away and we get to enjoy the journey together. 

My passion for people and mental health inspires me to work with an assortment of concerns within all age groups. Some of these concerns and individuals include, but are not limited to, Play Therapy Techniques, Eating Disorders, Postpartum Depression and Perinatal Counseling, Pre-marital Counseling and Couples issues, Adoptive Families, Athletes (current or retired), and all forms of Anxiety. 

Whether or not you identify with one of these categories, I am here to support you and empower you when you bring concerns into the session.

When I’m not seeing clients, I’m water coloring, weight lifting, roller blading, brunching, and spending time with family and friends. (I’m an Ennegram 2, too).

If you are feeling drawn to connect, let’s set up a consultation so you can ask me any questions you have. I would love to meet you and chat.
