Hi, I’m so glad you’re here! As a self-identified big feeler navigating life with a neurodivergent brain, my hope for all that I get to work with is to help you build a sense of belonging as you move towards embracing what makes you who you are. In a world that tries to "fix" our differences, I am so grateful to celebrate all of the things that make you who you are! I work with children, teens, parents, and adults, and my specific niches are anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism, relational trauma (sexual violence, victims of crime, abuse, etc), life transitions, and high-conflict divorce.

I specialize in couples therapy and love what I do. Life circumstances facilitated my desire to become a couples therapist in early adolescence. I graduated from The University of Iowa with Honors in Psychology and completed my graduate degree from Northern Illinois University. My desire has always been working with couples and that passion remains today. I have been in practice for over 20 years, specializing in helping couples who are burdened by wanting to make their relationship work, but are uncertain of the tools and where to start.

Here's a hard dose of truth...you may not have caused all of your problems, but you still have to solve them. To that end, we often struggle internally with what we should change vs. what we should accept. That's where we come in! The answers are not always clear but they are attainable. It's time for you to prioritize YOU in a nonjudgmental, validating environment. Lastly, if you don't have the words to explain what's going on, we can help with that too.

Your plate may be full which in turn may make you feel overwhelmed & frustrated. Life is hard and it's also hard to make time for therapy, but your future self will thank you. My goal is to create a non-judgmental, open, and supportive environment to foster positive growth and self discovery. I view therapy with a collaborative lens and value the rapport built between therapist and client to identify needs and concerns while working towards identified therapeutic goals.

There are times in our lives when we feel overwhelmed, unmotivated, and disconnected. We feel "stuck" and lose sight of who we are and what we want. It is my belief that all humans are capable of growth and contentment. That, through practicing self-awareness, embodiment, compassion and accountability, we are able to re-examine that which keeps us from connection and creating joy. I utilize an integrated and relational approach to work with clients to better manage anxiety, depression, trauma, body image issues, relationship concerns, chronic illness, challenging life transitions, impacts of oppressive systems, and complex grief.
