Change is challenging, but it is also inevitable. Therapy is all about navigating change: it's happening and we need help coping OR we're stuck and need help changing. Let's learn about how to successfully navigate change.

In counseling, I work to meet the needs of the individual which includes biological, psychological, social and spiritual. I use therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution Focused Therapy, Play Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I believe meaningful connection is important in the therapeutic process and healing.

Life is full of bumps and twists along the way, and my goal as a therapist is to gently guide individuals as they recognize their choices, discover new ways of viewing difficult situations, and learn to embrace who they are and who they can become. I believe we can work together at your pace, with encouragement and as little pressure as possible, to embrace your gifts, flaws, and full self while tackling the things holding you back from a fulfilling life.

Life is full of challenges and as we journey, we collect experiences and resources that both challenge us and help us grow. I enjoy the collaborative experience of therapy and being a part of the growth process.

At the core of my practice are empathy and gentleness, while reminding you of your inherent strengths. I use a solution-focused and emotionally-focused framework with my clients and incorporate mindfulness techniques. I am also an LGTBQ+ affirming therapist and love working with this community.

I’ve worked in public education as a teacher from grades 4-12. Working in mental and behavioral health is something I’ve been working toward for several years.

You deserve relationships that feel secure, supportive, and true to who you are. When we are out of balance in our lives and relationships, therapy can be a place to breathe, heal, and reconnect with yourself. I’ll hold a warm, non-judgmental space where you can explore what hurts, discover what you need, and move toward the kind of love and life you deserve.
