Throughout my work in the mental health field, I have found my specialization in working with individuals, as well as couples, who are seeking more effective ways to cope with stress, communication, depression, and anxiety among other varied topics.
I work from a variety of theoretical orientations, but I do find that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can be beneficial to people with a variety of issues with how life has been going lately. Challenging and changing perception can really help to put the change into life that people are seeking. If you are not sure what you need, we can work from there too!

I use various approaches for counseling which include Trauma Focused Therapy, Emotion-Focused, Person-Centered, Strength-Based, Cognitive-Behavioral, and Marriage Therapy.
Life is a full of seasons; seasons of struggle and challenges, seasons of processing, and seasons of healing. I am a support system you can use to help navigate your season. Many clients I work with have experienced significant trauma. They seek counseling because they battle with the anxiety, depression, addiction, or PTSD that so commonly follows those events. I am very passionate about supporting my clients in establishing genuine identity and relationship stability. The counseling process can help you develop the emotional and cognitive “muscles” you need to experience freedom and confidence in YOUR world.
