My website

Well, hello there! Thanks for stopping by my little corner of Psychology Today. I’m passionate about helping people strengthen their relationships, understand their emotions, and navigate challenges with greater clarity and confidence. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I bring warmth, humor, and deep respect for each person’s unique story. With years of experience in education, I understand the power of safe spaces, thoughtful conversations, and meaningful support. Growth happens when we feel safe enough to be both honest and vulnerable. I create an environment where both laughter, tears, and dumb jokes are welcomed.

While I enjoy working with a wide range of individuals, I do my best work with young adults navigating life changes and with women in seasons of transition—pregnancy, motherhood, identity shifts, or relationship changes. I also find faith exploration deeply meaningful and support clients as they reconstruct, deconstruct, or engage intentionally with belief.

Outside of therapy, my husband and I share a love for pottery, biking, thrifting, family vacations, and collecting children’s books. I work to cultivate balance and connection in my own life...the same things I hope to help clients find in their lives. Wherever your journey leads, you deserve support! If we’re a good fit, I’d be honored to walk with you.
