Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next step? You don’t have to navigate this alone. Many people I work with face anxiety, depression, or life changes, leaving them disconnected from themselves or their purpose. It’s normal to feel drained or frustrated by these emotions. I believe in the power of understanding and connection. Together, we’ll create a safe, judgment-free space to explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. I’m here to help you find clarity, healing, and a renewed sense of direction!

As a counselor, I am willing work with people, wherever they are. Counseling is a place where burdens can be shared, and clients can sort out their past and present, along with strengths and weaknesses, and as a result, gain guidance for their future. People have different problems depending on their individual situation, developmental stage, and age. Each person's solution is different, but everyone can improve, and most want to become the best they can be.

I work with clients who are making their way through addiction, trauma, and attachment based wounds. You can expect a non-judgmental and supportive approach to the emotional baggage that's been weighing you down.

I believe that validation is key to creating a foundation from which to begin recovering from mental health challenges. If you do not feel validated, you will continue to suffer, often times in silence. I also believe in being my true authentic self with my clients in hopes that this will inspire them to do the same. The important thing for me is that I can meet you where you are and empower you to start making the changes you would like to see. “The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction not a destination.” – Carl Rogers, On Becoming a Person

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 specialize in working with parents and caregivers of children living with chronic illness. I understand that when your child is navigating long-term medical challenges, the entire family is impacted. You may find yourself juggling multiple responsibilities—managing numerous medical appointments, advocating for your child, maintaining a household, and holding space for the emotional needs of your child and family—all while trying to keep yourself afloat. As a caregiver, you may feel overwhelmed, isolated, and emotionally exhausted as you navigate your new normal. You may be experiencing grief and self-doubt.

Currently accepting new clients! Navigating life's challenges can be very difficult in the midst of the storm. The therapeutic process can offer new ways of thinking while empowering you to be able to grow through those challenges and build resiliency. I believe that therapy should be a collaborative effort in assisting the client to discover the strengths that they already possess, while showing them how to use those tools to build a better life. It is a privilege to be invited to be a part of your healing journey. I use a holistic approach to therapy, meaning I see the importance of addressing an individuals whole health.

I believe counseling is a unique opportunity to assist individuals by meeting them where they are in life's journey. I think it is essential to work with individuals and families from a strengths-based approach and in ways that best meet their needs. Counseling is a collaborative effort between the counselor and client, and it is designed to help individuals identify goals and solutions to the problems that disrupt their lives.
