If you are 13+ years old, have dissociative abilities, a history of trauma, are a part of the LGBTQIA+ community, experience suicidal ideations, and/or engage in disordered eating behaviors, self-harm, and ineffective thinking patterns, then I will come alongside you to help you on your journey. I will meet you where you’re at, validate you, and show you compassion, while at the same time, challenge you so that you can discover and unlock the strengths you possess to help reach your goals. Therapy can be difficult, so I like to incorporate humor, stuffed animals, art, metaphors, etc., to help make going a bit easier.

In all of our lives there are times when we struggle and could use support. As a licensed professional clinical counselor and licensed alcohol and drug counselor, I specialize in working with those who suffer from chemical and mental health issues. The past 18 years my professional career has been dedicated to improving the lives of teens, young adults and their families. I am also passionate about working with those who are simply trying to live a more fulfilled life.

Life can bring some unexpected twists and turns, and it can be helpful to talk with someone to process, and heal from these events. I consider it an honor to hold space for clients, and provide a safe place for you to be heard, find healing, and to gain skills and tools to bring you more freedom, and peace . I work from a mind, body, spirit perspective and upon your request, I enjoy integrating Christian faith, and spiritual interventions into your care. I value bringing laughter, authenticity, and safety into our sessions. Please feel free to call me to schedule a free 30 minute consultation to answer any questions you may have.
