Letting go of the past—especially when it involves trauma—is never easy. While it may sound straightforward, healing from painful experiences often requires courage, guidance, and intentional work. In my practice, I support individuals in exploring their past in order to gain insight into how it impacts their present, empowering them to move forward with greater clarity and strength. I also recognize the profound role that faith can play in the healing process. For clients who desire it, I incorporate a faith-based approach, grounded in the belief that God is the source of both healing and hope.

Life in itself is challenging; let me help you learn how to face these moments with strength and love. As humans, we tend to struggle with how to handle adversity and often forget our own resiliency and ability to adapt.

Currently accepting new clients! I specialize in working with individuals and couples navigating the ups and downs of life. I believe each person is unique and deserves to tell their story. Trauma, anxiety, and relationship issues can influence functioning and inhibit our ability to navigate life and show up for ourselves in positive ways. Through examining ourselves, our relationships, and our pasts, I believe we can gain insight into why we behave certain ways. I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space that can aid in allowing you to feel heard; so that change or acceptance for where you are can occur.

I believe in meeting people where they are at. Some clients come to me with a clear idea of their goals for therapy while others don’t know where to start. There are situations in life that are difficult to navigate alone and I believe that providing a safe space to work through the challenges life throws at us is crucial.

I became a Marriage and Family Therapist because I enjoy processing with individuals and listening to personal journeys to find a resolution. I was a High School performance art major and find this skill set benefical in providing supports through visual cues using various therapeutic approaches and modalities. I specialize in working with children and families in child welfare. I enjoy working with young children and teens as these are challenging developmental years, trauma and distress from systemic and familial patterns of behaviors, coupled with low parenting, coping, decision-making and problem-solving skills.
