Many of us feel stuck or unsure how to navigate what life throws at us. I recognize the importance of putting your trust in someone in order to share your story, and I offer support and compassion to help guide you. I am mental health counselor in Iowa and a licensed professional counselor in Georgia specializing in child and teen therapy. I believe in building strong relationships with clients and letting them know they always have choices in their life in order to become their best selves. I believe that everyone has strengths, and it is my hope to help individuals grow and be someone who they are proud of.
I have spent the last 5 years working as a school-based therapist treating elementary to high school age individuals who are experiencing anxiety disorders, depression, mood disorders, suicide ideation, and life transitions. I also have experience working with adults and couples navigate self-esteem, stress, and work/life balance.
I welcome individuals of all ages, couples, and families to start a new journey of healing and support.
