The hardest step is starting counseling. I believe in building a therapeutic relationship by creating a safe place for you to be. I want to foster a safe, comfortable, and supportive atmosphere for all my clients—a place where you want to come, learn, and grow. My goal is to meet you where you are and come alongside you to help you get where you want to be, becoming a happy, healthy, and thriving individual. You are the expert of yourself, and I believe in being client-centered, allowing you to lead the therapeutic process. I believe real change occurs when you are ready for it. I am passionate about helping you reach your goals and the future you desire.

With a deep commitment to fostering growth, resilience, and empowerment, I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative therapeutic environment where clients feel heard, valued, and supported on their path toward healing and self-discovery. Whether you are seeking support for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, or navigating life transitions, I am here to accompany you on your journey toward greater well-being and fulfillment. I am committed to creating a safe and validating space for my clients, empowering them to navigate and overcome. My passion for mental health advocacy and continuous professional development underscores my commitment to providing the highest quality care.

You are embarking on an important journey of growth and healing, and it is my privilege to come alongside you in that journey and ultimately to meet your need with truth, hope, and healing. My counseling orientation is integrative, enabling me, as your therapist, to tailor the counseling interventions to your particular needs. Approaches may include Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Trauma-informed therapy, Biblical Counseling, Narrative therapy, Somatic therapy, IFS, and more. In addition, I am trained and comfortable working with thoughts and feelings of suicide. As holistic beings, all aspects—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual—contribute to our overall experience of wholeness and wellness. I look forward to joining you in your journey toward wellness.

Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. Reaching out for help can be daunting, and I applaud you for taking this initial step toward living a more rewarding life. I approach therapy as a collaborative process, working closely with you to ensure that your treatment goals are always my priority. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with all types of anxiety and have extensive experience with adults dealing with trauma exposure, such as victims of crime, domestic violence survivors, and combat veterans. Additionally, I have had the opportunity to work with parents to enhance the parent-child relationship and address issues related to child non-compliance, aggression, and school behaviors, as well as supporting adults struggling with depression, relationship difficulties, and work-life balance issues. I understand that it takes tremendous courage to change, and I would be honored to assist you as you strive for a more fulfilling, rewarding, and enjoyable life.

Hello! I want my clients to feel empowered by their mental health journey to learn how to love themselves and those around them. I would be honored to walk alongside you! My approach to therapy is "Parts Work" (Gestalt and Internal Family Systems), meaning that I believe we have various parts of ourselves that make up the whole of who we are. Together, we will work collaboratively to identify these parts that may be holding you back from reaching your goals. We will step into a new awareness together and empower you to make the changes you desire. I have experience working with individuals from all walks of life and specialize in multiple mental health conditions. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or any other mental health concern, I am here to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. As a retired collegiate athlete, I also enjoy serving other athletes struggling with anxiety, trauma, and performance. One thing that sets me apart as a therapist is my honest and authentic nature. I truly care about every one of my clients and am committed to helping them grow and thrive. I am ready to join you in your self-discovery and healing journey!
