With recent changes in our world and communities, adolescents and young adults are bombarded with stress and insecurity leading to mental health challenges. Anxiety, depression, and loneliness can lead to increased isolation, conflicts in parent/child relationships, suicidal thoughts and feelings of hopelessness. They may need a life line, a map to find their way.

I work with clients who are experiencing a range of presenting concerns, including: hopelessness and depression, anxiety, family relationship difficulties, job and work related challenges, cultural and life transitions, aging, grief and loss, trauma and adverse childhood experiences, suicidal ideation, self-esteem problems, time management issues, and parenting challenges.
My role is to walk alongside you as you explore what’s working, what’s not, and what might need to shift. Through this collaborative process, we work together to reconnect you to your power, your voice, and your ability to live in alignment with the life you want.

I am committed and interested in helping my clients strengthen their connections to others while simultaneously developing the tools to create personal feelings of confidence, strength, and fulfullment within themselves. Although I cater to each client specifically, my general plan of action consists of the immediate alleviation of symptoms, in concert with an in-depth look at related patterns established throughout the client's lifetime. In other words, first we can tend to the flower's blossom, but then let us tend to its roots.

Are you having difficulty overcoming a problem, mood or behavior? If an issue is not relatively easy to change, then chances are, there is a block of some sort preventing the progression and flow of positive thoughts, feelings and behaviors. It is frustrating, discouraging and painful as an intelligent and competent person to work on a goal and not get the results you hope for.

Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns they can’t quite explain — anxiety that keeps returning, relationship struggles, lingering effects of trauma, or a sense of disconnection from themselves and others. Therapy can be a place to slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin shifting patterns that no longer serve you. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addiction, neurodivergence, and life transitions. Together we explore your experiences with curiosity and care while building practical tools for emotional regulation, resilience, and more authentic relationships.

Do you feel like you’re trapped in patterns that once helped you cope but now keep you stuck? Are you moving through anxiety, addiction, depression, or grief? Maybe you are numbing out, engaging in compulsive behaviors, substances, or habits that used to get you through tough moments—but now leave you feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or even depressed.
These patterns can be hard to break, and facing them alone can feel exhausting. Together, we can explore what’s beneath these patterns, uncover the emotions and experiences that keep them going, and gently work toward new ways of coping that bring you relief and hope.

I am accepting new clients. Often we seek counseling when we’re not feeling like ourselves. Many people can struggle with the gap between logical knowing, “I know I’m a good person” and emotional experience, “But I don’t feel like I am”. A primary focus of my approach is to close that gap and integrate outdated beliefs and patterns that no longer serve you. I work well with folks who have a foundational understanding of therapy or who have gotten stuck in the talk therapy circuit. I practice Internal Family Systems (IFS), AKA “Parts work”. This process creates more self-leadership, more self-compassion, and deepens clarity.

Currently accepting individual adult clients for telehealth in Missouri, Oregon, and Arkansas. I love working with people from across the gender spectrum heal from trauma, anxiety, depression, and life stress. If you're struggling, particularly with mid life changes or are late-diagnosed neurodivergent, let's connect! LGBTQ+, sex positive, and ENM experienced. I offer EMDR and work with ages 18+. I believe firmly in the power of radical acceptance. Whatever the experience may be; noticing, accepting, expressing, and finding true choice helps us get underneath the symptoms to facilitate true growth and empowerment.

As a therapist, I truly enjoy working with all age groups. Much of my experience has been working with adolescents and young adults both in and out of school settings. However, in my private practice I have had the privilege of working with adults and seniors too.
My therapeutic approach is primarily in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), examining the relationship between our thoughts, feelings and actions. However, I also utilize collaborative problem solving skills and components of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

I love working with clients who may feel lost and unsure of where or how to start their journey toward mental health recovery. Maybe you have slipped through the cracks of the mental health system and are struggling to find the support you need. You may feel stuck in the past, angry at the world, or fearful that happiness is out of reach. I understand that some days, this pain may feel so heavy or overwhelming that getting out of bed or replying to messages from friends and family feels too hard. I’m here to help you identify and shift any patterns that aren’t serving you, so you can move forward in a way that match your values.

I'm glad you're seeking support! I’m particularly passionate about supporting people who are working through sexual shame, navigating ethical non-monogamy, and those who identify neurodivergent (specifically Autistic or ADHD), queer, and/or BIPOC. I believe that community is at the core of our being. Despite that, relationships (platonic, romantic, or otherwise) are complicated. Navigating challenges that arise and staying curious can allow you to find ways to heal and discover your truth.
