I help people understand that the ability to change exists inside them. I help them to understand the stages of change and how they can use these stages to effective change themselves and their lives.

My approach to therapy is integrative, which means that I draw from a number of different theories and techniques and tailor my approach to your specific needs and goals. In addition to more traditional western approaches, I find that many of my clients benefit from the integration of mindfulness and self-compassion practices into our work. For more information about my approach to counseling and psychotherapy, please visit my website.

We live in a broken and fallen world. At times life knocks us down and we find it difficult to cope or know what to do. As a counselor it is my job to meet you where you are and together address the concerns you are facing. I work from a Christian worldview and use this as a framework to assist you in evaluating your thoughts, situations, relationships and strengths. Regardless of your religion or faith, it would be my honor to work with you and get you on your desired path.

Being present with another person, couple, or family as they verbalize their truth, allows them to find support as they uncover their inner voice and helps them heal from within. It is a great responsibility to hear this talk, and point out the important nuances to help them recognize, own and move forward with a changed outlook.

I use an approach called feedback-informed care in which I ask you how you are doing using the Outcomes Rating Scale and the Session Rating Scale. I adjust my treatment in accordance with your feedback.

I am a therapist who specializes in working with adolescents and adults who struggle with either anxiety, life transitions, complex trauma or spirituality. I enjoy being able to walk alongside others in their life journey and to be a stable and consistent support in their life. I have been in the mental health field for over 5 years now, working with various populations of those who have experienced trauma throughout various forms of life. I also have experience working with individuals with co-occurring disorders and those who are also desiring family therapy to address family conflict or stressors. I often use strength-based modalities that foster a client-centered session in conjunction with certain interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and parts work. I can also incorporate Christian spirituality into sessions as well, if desired. It is important for you to feel heard and valued in session as you bring what you desire to focus on into the therapy environment with me. We will next work on skills, where you can increase your insight into what you are experiencing, and build confidence to address the struggles you are facing with new tools. I am a big supporter of a person-centered approach, and I value the individual as someone who is an expert on their own life and just needs someone to help bring that to the surface.

I believe therapy is most effective when it feels safe, supportive, and collaborative. My role is to walk alongside you—not to judge or “fix” you, but to help you uncover your strengths, heal old wounds, and create lasting change. I work with people who feel stuck in cycles of self-doubt, people-pleasing, anxiety, or painful relationship patterns, and together we build healthier ways of relating to yourself and others. I draw from approaches that focus on self-awareness, boundaries, and resilience, while also tailoring each session to your unique needs. You don’t have to have it all figured out before starting therapy—we’ll work together at your pace, with compassion and curiosity guiding the process. My goal is for you to feel more grounded, confident, and free to live a life that truly reflects who you are.

Are the relationships in your life not all that you want them to be? Relationships can make life worth living, or they can make your miserable. Whether it is a marriage that isn't going well, a parentchild relationship that never seems to work well, or you just seem to find yourself repeating past mistakes over and over again, sometimes we all need help figuring out how to move forward in a new way. I strongly believe in the power of relationships to help heal us and I enjoy working with people to help them make sense of the relationships in their lives.

About Me If you’re burned out and tired of trying harder, you’re not alone. You might be juggling work, relationships, and expectations, yet still feel like you’re falling short. Many of my clients are smart, capable, and deeply caring — but under the surface, they’re overwhelmed, anxious, or constantly second-guessing themselves. I’ve been a licensed counselor for over 21 years. I was diagnosed with ADHD at 36, and I’m raising three kids with ADHD — one who has autism. I know how exhausting it is when the strategies that work for “everyone else” just don’t work for you. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and practical. After working with me, clients often say therapy finally makes sense. What I Offer Therapy with me isn’t about fixing who you are. It’s about understanding what’s going on, untangling the patterns that keep you stuck, and building tools that actually work for your life. Who I Work With You might be someone who shows up strong and steady for others, but secretly feels like you’re falling apart behind the scenes. Maybe you’re holding it together at work but struggling to function at home. Or maybe you’ve tried therapy before, only to be handed tools that didn’t fit your life or felt too surface-level. I help people who feel stretched thin, emotionally flooded, or stuck in old patterns — whether that’s perfectionism, people-pleasing, burnout, or always being “on.” Together, we’ll make space for relief, clarity, and change that lasts. How We’ll Work Together We’ll figure out what’s working, what’s not, and what you actually need. You’ll learn practical ways to calm your body when emotions get big, create structure that helps with follow-through, and set boundaries without guilt. We’ll also explore the parts of you that show up under stress — like the perfectionist, the avoider, or the critic — and learn how to respond differently so you don’t feel pulled in every direction. Everything we use is flexible, grounded, and built to fit your real life — not someone else’s idea of how you “should” be. If therapy has felt unhelpful or disconnected before, this might feel different. Schedule a free consultation — let’s see if we’re a good fit.

Healing doesn’t happen in isolation — it begins in a safe, supportive space where your story is heard and respected. For over two decades, I’ve helped adults navigate anxiety, trauma, grief, insomnia, and life transitions by combining compassion with evidence-based approaches that foster resilience and lasting change. Equally important to me is pacing therapy in a way that feels right for each client. I believe growth is most sustainable when people feel empowered, not pressured. My role is to walk alongside clients, balancing relief in the present with skills and insights that support long-term well-being. Clients can expect to leave sessions feeling both grounded and equipped. Sometimes that means walking away with a concrete tool they can use right away — whether it’s a new perspective, a small shift in daily routines, or a strategy for managing difficult emotions. Other times, it’s the sense of relief that comes from being deeply understood without judgment. You deserve a space where you're met with care, understanding, and zero judgment. Whether you're navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, insomnia, or general life challenges, therapy can help you feel seen, supported, and hopeful. Together, we’ll walk through your story and build the strength and clarity you need to step forward with hope and purpose.
