You’re not just burning the candle at both ends; your candle is completely engulfed in flames! You’re overwhelmed, exhausted, and you can’t keep this up much longer. You have so much to do that you can’t afford to take a break, but sometimes your brain just switches off and you realize you’ve been staring blankly at your computer screen for twenty minutes. You feel like you’re slowly drowning, but no one else sees it… I feel you! Whether you’re suffering from chronic fatigue, ADHD, Autistic burnout, the mental load of managing a household, or just the normal everyday stressors of late-stage capitalism, I can help.

Howdy! I'm thrilled that you are starting the process of looking for a therapist! No two people are alike, so I don’t use a cookie-cutter approach to the work we do together in counseling. While I pull from multiple modes of therapy, it is common for me to use tools from biofeedback, mindfulness, CBT, IFS, and more. My style is equitable and relational, with previous clients saying that my humorous, laid-back approach to therapy put them at ease quickly. There is no power hierarchy: I am the expert in mental health; you are the expert in your life. We need both to have a successful and productive counseling relationship!

I have a Master of Arts in Counseling from St. Edward's University, and am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT).

My mission as a therapist is to empower and inspire you to 1) form a bold, honest vision of what you really want, whether in work, school, relationship(s), or your life as a whole; and 2) make it real. This may mean overcoming psychological roadblocks like anxiety, depression, ADHD, or trauma. It may also mean casting off unchosen burdens and thinking in new, unconventional ways about what you really want and why. Regardless of what sorts of dragons you need to slay, I will provide an arsenal of science-based tools and an endless supply of moral support to help you fight your chosen fight - and to remember why it's worth it.

As a clinical psychologist, I believe everyone is doing the best with the skills and resources they have.

I am a Licensed Psychologist. I know that we often believe that we must tolerate or suffer through our current circumstances, as we are often unaware of our full personal potential, as well as the role we play in limiting our growth and progress.
