Since 2000, I’ve helped people overcome the obstacles that seem to be holding them back in life. Life's too short to be unhappy, unsure, or unfulfilled. Let me help you recognize and develop better ways to handle the issues that are standing in the way of your goals. If you are seeking a private and relaxed setting where you can leave each session with practical skills and/or information that you can apply in your everyday life, then I am the counselor for you. I also offer quick turn around times for appointments and you will not have to wait in an overcrowded and loud waiting area prior to your appointment.

What qualities are you looking for in a therapist?
Perhaps someone who is compassionate and non-judgmental…
Someone who truly listens, cares about your goals, and works with you to achieve them; Someone who brings creativity and energy to each session, making therapy both engaging and meaningful; Someone who understands that not every therapist is the right fit for every person; And someone who’s committed to putting in the work.
If this sounds like what you’re looking for, then we might be a great fit.

Hello! I strive to create a warm and accepting atmosphere for kids and teens to grow. I began providing animal-assisted therapy (AAT) in 2020 and found it added an extra layer of comfort, humor, and playfulness that enhances the sometimes challenging work of therapy. Olaf, a golden retriever, is now my primary therapy companion and can be seen in some of the profile pictures. My hope is to make therapy fun and enlightening. Children and teens have many stressors that include rigorous school testing, challenging social dynamics, and perfectionism. This can lead to negative self-talk and self-doubt.

Knowing suffering and struggle are common to all, I strive to provide hope and direction for people as they face real-world challenges.

There are seasons when letting go feels impossible, when the unknown of transition asks more than you can hold alone. That's when it helps to have someone alongside you. I work from the understanding that your body communicates through sensation, emotion, and nervous system response. My role is to help you listen and notice what's actually true for you beneath the noise. You may be deconstructing beliefs, untangling from harmful relationships, or learning how to manage ADHD. Often, the body knows this before there are words. My work begins there.
