I'm not like other therapists you may have been to. My dedication for helping others has been fueled by the adversity in my own life. I want my clients to be themselves in my space. I won't tell you what to do, but I'll walk with you while you figure out what the best route is to meet your goals for a healthy life. I enjoy working with young adults and adults who are motivated to find a solution to alleviate their depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, and self-harming behaviors. I have experience working with BPD, pornography issues, infidelity and betrayal trauma, and general life transitions.

I started my career working several years on a dual diagnosis unit, which provided me with a strong foundation in working with people facing both mental health and addictions issues. I believe anyone who desires it can benefit from therapy and have appreciated working with adults and adolescents on their outpatient therapy journeys for many years. My focus on creating a safe and non-judgmental therapeutic environment allows my clients to engage in the therapy experience and make progress toward their goals. I enjoy being active, especially when I can do so outside. When I am not working, I am typically enjoying time with family.

I am licensed mental health counselor in WDSM passionate about helping people find a judgment-free space to process life's ups and downs, uncomfortable emotions, traumas or even feeling stuck. I have been in the mental health field for 10 years and have worked with a variety of individuals from different walks of life ranging from troubled teens, the military population, and co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders. I believe that there is no "one size-fits-all" approach to therapy and honor each client's individuality and autonomy.
