Life can be challenging, with many twists and turns along the way. We may even find that events and circumstances in life are not what we expected or are out of our control. In those times, we seek to find strength and encouragement to endure and perhaps even rebuild. I believe that everyone has the potential to rise above their circumstances, no matter what they may encounter. We can turn disappointment, hurt, or pain into learning experiences that help us grow.

You or your child may be feeling overwhelmed by big emotions, anxiety, or patterns that feel hard to break. I work with children ages 7 and older, teens, and adults. Parents may be concerned about meltdowns, school stress, or emotional regulation, while adults may feel stuck or exhausted by constant worry. You’re looking for clarity, relief, and tools that make daily life feel calmer and more manageable.

I love offering therapy in a beautiful farm setting. It gives clients the flexibility to sit, walk along trails, or interact with animals during our sessions together. I thrive in working with clients who want more clarity, understanding, and confidence in their lives. When working with adults and teens I use a pragmatic and compassionate approach to help you feel more prepared and hopeful in navigating challenging situations or relationships. With greater insight you will have more understanding of your emotions, experience, and the choices you have in navigating both.

Too many of us are struggling because we haven’t felt comfortable or secure enough to ask hard questions and dig deeper. I strive to work with all who are searching for a sense of identity, purpose, improved relationships, and deeper connections with themselves and others. I am passionate about working with adolescents, parents, caregivers, and adults who are ready to walk through whatever is holding them back so they can live with more confidence, joy, and clarity.

First and foremost, I want to help you create a space for exploration and healing. We will do that by working together to build a partnership that is as unique as you are. People tend to look into counseling when life events feel overwhelming, difficult to navigate, and stressful. I am here to really listen and I want to understand what you’re facing. Much of who we are as people is directly related to the relationship between ourselves and our emotions. I firmly believe that we each hold the unique power to grow and solve issues inside ourselves. Healing takes curiosity, intention, and soul.

My work is informed by this truth: Life is difficult and facing its challenges requires courage and connection. I strive to create an environment of non-judgment where thoughts and feelings can be expressed, issues can be explored, and values can be acted on. Asking for help can be awkward, but I view it as a strength that often opens the door to relief, problem-solving, and transformation. Each day I witness how counseling helps individuals navigate predictable life-stages as well as unexpected crises. And I believe that healing, growth, and meaning are within reach for all.

Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you try, it’s never enough? You’ve learned to be who others need—saying yes when you’re exhausted, chasing impossible standards, feeling anxious, disconnected from yourself, and weighed down inside. People-pleasing, perfectionism, depression, and anxiety often begin as ways to stay safe, connected, and in control. What if these patterns that feel like limitations are actually survival strategies shaped by what you’ve experienced in life? They felt necessary before, but now you notice they are keeping you stuck or causing you distress. Done with feeling stuck?

You’re the one everyone depends on: the giver, the fixer, the “strong one.” On the outside, you’re holding it together, but internally you’re exhausted and numb. Are you up at 2 a.m. overthinking things from yesterday or planning for tomorrow? Does burnout have you feeling overwhelmed? Are you silently carrying stress that never fully goes away? Add parenting, relationship struggles, career pressure, or life changes, and it can feel like there’s no space for you. Many of my clients, especially women of color, come to therapy ready to stop surviving and finally feel supported, seen, and emotionally safe.
