Ask me about supervision if you are an LPC-Associate! In a therapy session, my goal is to create a safe, calm, and comfortable space for you to express yourself. I specialize in working with trauma and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, anxiety, and depression, but I also enjoy working with grief, life transitions, every day stressors, and many others. These struggles can be difficult at times, but my hope is that I provide a space where you feel accepted, valued, and heard. My goals are to walk beside you, guide you, and to watch you thrive in your next phase of life. If you have concerns about payment, we can talk about it!

When our thoughts feel over-powering and overwhelming, when our relationships are uncomfortable and full of discord, when we feel unable to do what we believe we should be doing, counseling can help. Oftentimes finding a neutral non-judgmental partner to explore concerns and fears will bring clarity and peace, lower anxiety, and decrease depressive symptoms. Together we can acknowledge barriers to goals, explore unhealthy patterns, and clarify intentions and desired results.

I am nationally certified in Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Heartsong: The expression of a person's inner essence, underlying identity, and reason for existence. Being a kid in today’s world can be overwhelming, stressful, and confusing at times. Sometimes life circumstances or traumatic situations happen that cause these big feelings for kids. I would like to offer a safe space for kids to explore these things. My hope through the counseling process is that kids will feel safe enough to grow by learning new techniques and strategies, heal from hurtful or traumatic experiences, and of course have some fun while we are at it by using play, laughter, and games.

I use various approaches for counseling which include Trauma Focused Therapy, Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, 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.
