“I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.” We all have moments in life when we experience depression, anxiety, or overwhelming situations that seem to knock the wind right out of us. It’s important to remember that you don't have to face these challenges alone. As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate, my role is to help individuals navigate their mental health challenge and develop healthy coping strategies to improve their overall well-being.

Your faith has lost its spark. You want to believe, but right now it’s hard. You want to feel close to God, yet everything you do makes you feel farther and farther from Him, leaving you feeling defeated and hopeless. The questions. The doubts. They’re LOUD. You remember a time when your faith was strong. But now? Now the suffering you experience has you questioning everything you thought you knew. Maybe church abuse is real for you. Whether the leadership of the church or the people of the church. It’s brutally painful. “If that’s what a Christian is…I’m out.” But in your heart, you don’t want to abandon ship.

Is your teenager experiencing anxiety or depression? Does your teenager often isolate and feels that no one understands them? Do you feel like parenting is hard, and want strategies for balancing your roles? Navigating through life as an adult can be complicated, so imagine how your teen might be feeling. While life can be unpredictable, deciding to try therapy doesn’t have to be. I have been empowering adolescents, adults, parents, and families for over 5 years. I love working with middle schoolers and teenagers to identify the tools and skills helpful for them to tackle life’s obstacles.

I've spent most of my life trying to figure out who I am—trying to find my place in the world and learn what it means to be me, as authentically as possible. I’ve navigated spaces that promised acceptance, but instead pushed me deeper into self-sabotage. By the time I could muster the strength to climb out of the hole I’d fallen into, I barely recognized myself. I’ve been beat down, torn apart, misled, heartbroken, lied to, and betrayed. But the hardest part? I did most of it to myself. And then, therapy happened.

I work with individuals, couples, and families with a focus on improving relationships. I believe that everyone is capable and deserving of love and connection, despite our imperfections, and I strive to provide a safe and nonjudgmental space for you to work on your relationship or explore why you may struggle in relationships. Taking an interpersonal process approach to couples/relationship counseling, I focus on the here-and-now. While discussing past events is often necessary, I work to bring the focus back to the present moment and explore what’s happening right now.

Fat, Black, Neurodivergent, Queer. This is your safe space to feel seen, heard, validated, affirmed, and celebrated. Experiencing oppression, a lack of safety in who you are, living in a world deeply not made for you. I understand how painful this can be, and I also understand that it’s possible to build your own world. Surrounded by the right people, and with a profound sense of self-worth. As you go through life your relationship with others and even yourself can bring stress, anger, hopelessness, and other emotions which become too much to handle alone.

The aim of my work is to help you draft and refine the narrative of your life, identify core values and beliefs, and look for ways to apply those values to strengthen your sense of self. Some of these narratives may include experiences of depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and relationship issues. As a therapist, I employ warmth, humor, and softness to create a space where you can identify and bring down the barriers keeping you from who you want to be. As a social worker, I wish to meet you where you are, then walk alongside you down your preferred path, simply helping with forks in the road.
