For everyone, life can feel overwhelming at times. Needing to share and process with someone is normal. In my role as a counselor, I am dedicated to fostering a client-centered environment where individuals feel heard, understood, and empowered. I believe in the transformative journey of counseling, embracing a growth mindset that acknowledges each step forward as an opportunity for personal evolution and discovery. Guiding others through this journey is not just my profession, but my passion, as I strive to facilitate positive change and growth in the lives of those with whom I have the privilege to work.

Your life is a story, full of significant characters. There are scenes that you live out and roles that you play. Through the sharing of your story, with trusted others, you come to understand how key characters and scenes in your life have shaped you and contribute to who you have become. It is important to understand your role in your story. Reflecting and sharing your story helps you see important themes you continue to play out in your significant relationships keeping you from the joy, connection, and peace you desire.

Are you searching for meaning and purpose? I understand the weight you carry and the desire for a more fulfilling, faith-driven life.

First of all, I am so glad you are here. Beginning the process of seeking therapy can be daunting. Working with women who are facing various issues with life transitions, trauma, and mental health is my passion. Life is challenging and change is hard. Life changes in so many different ways throughout the lifespan whether it be the transition to college, the journey of motherhood, loss, changes in relationships, or career shifts. My goal is to walk with you through the changes of life, and the difficulties that come from these changes. Getting support and learning skills can help you thrive in whatever life stage you are in.

I am a firm believer that we are not meant to do life alone. It is my hope that I can be one of the people in your life who can offer you the support you need to succeed. Whether you’re facing a major life transition, grieving the loss of a life or a relationship, dealing with family conflict, or navigating one of the many other life challenges we face as humans - my door is open to you.

If your life has been disrupted by anxiety, anger, depression, an addiction or the crisis of a divorce/break-up, job loss, financial difficulty or parenting challenge, know that you are not alone and that counseling can help you - heal; conquer any type of challenge; establish a workable life plan; repair relationships; renew your faith; and restore your emotional health.

We can get stuck in unhealthy relational patterns with ourselves and others that impact our mood and sense of self. We fear disconnection, rejection, and loneliness. What we desire is to be heard, known, and valued by others. What I hope to provide is a space and partner to acknowledge and express our needs, understand our roles, set boundaries with others, and feel safe and secure in ourselves. Together we can foster a deeper understanding of yourself and provide tools to help cope with life's challenges.

Life can get messy. Maybe you found yourself in a situation you didn't choose for yourself, or maybe you can't seem to shake that gnawing anxiety or the voice that says "you will never be enough". Perhaps you found yourself reeling in the wake of someone else's choices, or maybe even your own. Or maybe you are a parent watching helplessly as you see your son or daughter struggle. That's where I come in. I value the opportunity to be invited into life's most fragile areas and walk alongside you toward freedom, wholeness and hope.
