Hello! Within my first few years of college, I finally figured out what I wanted to do as a career. I realized I wanted to help people through their own life obstacles, trauma, life stages, and more! I want to help others with their mental health and make their world a better place. As I continue to learn and grow throughout my professional career, I want to work with a variety of populations and ages. To me, counseling is a journey of being honest with who you are and who you want to present to the world. I believe that it is an honor to be able to embark on this journey with you and to share unique experiences of ourselves.

Are you a stressed-out UM student or are you dealing with a major life overhaul? Maybe brand new at the job, uprooted by a move across country or bombarded by the pressures of campus life? An exhausted new parent, navigating tricky relationships with adult kids or reinventing yourself after retirement? Our lives are full of change and change is tough but a tremendous chance for reflection and growth. Learning to manage these changes intentionally and effectively will pave the way for what comes next.

I value the therapeutic alliance, striving for a collaborative, flexible, and safe journey as we work together on your unique path. I use a holistic approach, implementing both traditional psychology and spirituality/metaphysics to help achieve your goals, develop coping skills, gain insights, and build a sense of empowerment. Common areas explored in my practice revolve around themes such as anxiety/depression, grief, life purpose, relationships, existential meaning, healing, and much more.

Making the decision to create change in your life takes courage and strength. Our therapists at Inspire Behavioral Health are here to provide compassionate support to assist you in gaining a fresh perspective, as well as identifying solutions for meeting your personal goals.

Experiencing an emotional or personal issue that is restricting your ability to enjoy life? I help clients work on those things that are getting in the way, such as, problematic emotional, behavioral or relational patterns, stress, and symptoms of depression and anxiety. Life is really hard at times and it can help to have some extra support, especially, if you are feeling alone, isolated or finding that others don't really understand.

Navigating the journey of life can be challenging. If you find yourself feeling lost, confused, sad, worried, or dissatisfied with certain aspects of your life, I may be able to help you. As a therapist, my role is to guide you in discovering the tools necessary to improve your personal life and relationships. I offer a calm, non-judgmental space where we can explore both hardships and joys together.

It’s through connection that we find meaning and discover we are not alone. I love working with clients who are curious and ready for positive change. I use Internal Family Systems, EMDR and other evidence-based tools to help my clients navigate their own process of self exploration, resolve trauma, and move in the direction of healing and growth. I believe therapy is an opportunity to explore what is unsaid or undiscovered in our experience. We can learn to hold space for the parts of ourselves most in need of our love and appreciation so we can truly live our most fulfilled life.

You deserve to feel good about yourself and have a life that is satisfying and meaningful.

I’m so glad you’re here! If you’re anything like me, your path to this space had a lot of twists and turns, a lot of ups and downs, and maybe even a few accidents. You may be wondering how you got to this point and how to get back on a path that has meaning for you. You may be wondering how to decide what to do next. You’re looking for someone who will hear you, meet you where you are, and help you sort through the chaos with no judgment.
