I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate supervised by Megan Zellner, LPC-Supervisor I believe you should feel safe with your therapist and strive to create a sense of safety with you.

I have a vast experience of foster care and adoption parenting issues.

Perhaps you’ve been struggling with a history of family trauma, or you are currently dealing with difficult and stressful relationship issues with a partner, family members or your children. Maybe you are going through a tough life transition and are trying to discover not only who you are, but why you feel so different or are filled with sadness or anxiety.

Over the years I have come to enjoy working with a variety of clients. I work with children ages 2 through adolescence utilizing play therapy as one of my modalities. I also see adults for individual issues including anxiety, depression, parenting , and relationship issues. My practice includes working with couples assisting them in recognizing the problem cycles that get created and hopefully learning to build intimacy and connection. Since I work with children, families are a part of my practice as well-I see each individual as an integral part of the whole.

As my client, I want you to feel safe and heard throughout our work together. Our lives are constantly changing and shifting, and that can feel overwhelming. When a child or parent is feeling dysregulated, it can be hard to know what to do next. By creating a safe space, I help clients can learn to trust their wisdom, grow their strength, and gain confidence. Our work will be based on your individual needs. Services I provide include child and adolescent therapy, parent education, and individual therapy.

I'm here to support the first-time parent with unexpected emotions, as they re-form their identity; for the child that suddenly has two families instead of one; for the parents taking their baby home from the NICU, facing fear and grieving what might have been; for the person who has decided they're ready to heal old wounds, and embrace all that life has for them. You can learn to navigate depression and anxiety, and become more present for your family. You can strengthen your relationships with your children and partner, even when life throws you a curveball. No matter your past or current struggles, you deserve an abundant life.

My passion is helping individuals and couples embrace more authentic relationships with themselves, each other, and their loved ones. I believe that every individual can develop and expand meaningful relationships in their lives.
