Having worked in elementary education and as a Professional Elementary School Counselor for almost a decade, I love working with children, parents and educators.
Meeting clients where they are at and allowing them to lead is important to me in creating a safe space where you feel in control and comfortable. In creating this space, together we are able to start working outside of the box, and start doing the hard work. I enjoy incorporating creative arts in sessions when applicable.

In marriage or in parenting, we often lose sight of who we are and who we'd like to be.
You’re not broken - you’re just carrying too much alone. Are you the one everyone counts on, while you quietly feel overwhelmed, stuck or resentful? I see you. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to navigate anxiety, burnout, and the weight of being "the strong one."
As a professional, coach's wife, mom of 6 and grandma, I bring humor and real-world insight to our work. Together, we’ll face the self-doubt and pressure, building the tools you need to find balance. It’s okay to finally ask: What do I need? And then learn how to ask for it. You don’t have to do this alone, reach out and let’s connect.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a counselor. I have no idea why, but even as an adolescent, I was drawn to people and trying to help figure out what makes them tick. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most important part of the counseling experience. In that relationship, it’s very important for me to hold the space for the client. Both client and counselor need to feel that the environment is a safe space, allowing the therapeutic process to take place. That starts at the beginning, where it’s key that the client, whether new or established, feels that trust and can begin opening up.

There is very little in this world worth having that will not cause us to struggle and struggling does not mean that there is anything wrong with us. I believe that there is nothing more fulfilling than making a connection that costs us a little bit of vulnerability but leaves both of us feeling a brighter sense of hope. I also believe that our agency can carry us out of whatever rut that other forces might have left us in and that persisting in simple changes can help us get unstuck. If you feel stressed, overwhelmed, confused, alone, sad, or frustrated, there may be things about yourself that you can learn from and resolve.

My training as a healer began with my own in-depth psychotherapy. Subsequently, I have worked with adults, teens and kids in the areas of substance and sexual abuse, depression and anxiety, fear and grief. I attended a six months professional training program in DreamTending at Pacifica Graduate Institute where I deepened my understanding of archetypal medicine and indigenous methods of healing through the use of dreams and all that surrounds us in the natural world. My approach is holistic, helping my clients integrate mind, body and spirit.

Life can bring unexpected challenges that leave us feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or disconnected from ourselves. Therapy can be a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. I offer a warm, compassionate space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and patterns contributing to distress.

I'm about love, self-compassion, radical acceptance, embracing failure, trusting your innate wisdom and starting over. I fundamentally believe in every person's ability to recover from trauma, addiction and life, in general. Experience has taught me that no one is really avoiding anything. When people accuse you of not dealing with something, what they are really saying is you aren't dealing with it the way they want you to. From my perspective, if you wake up every morning and breathe in and out all day long, you're dealing with your stuff. A tiny bit of intention is all it takes to begin healing.

Sometimes a parent or a couple is who needs to be in the therapy room to initiate change in a family system.
I can help children and their families by teaching them about their generational patterns and how those patterns and behaviors impact their relationships with each other.
