I offer therapeutic sessions for individuals, couples, youth, and families. I help facilitate a process where people can develop insight and understanding of what may be holding them back from wellness, joy, and personal growth. Sometimes this may involve family patterns, behaviors that are not in line with one's values, or relationships that are no longer serving you. My job is to create safety for people to share their authentic selves, honoring strengths and navigating challenges together. My intention is to honor your gifts and to expand new ways of thinking or approaching situations to better meet your goals.

All human beings come from different backgrounds that have played a role in forming a sense of self, identity, and a particular way of interacting with the world. Connection is how we make meaning of the world; the language we speak, the colors we see, the emotions we feel, and the way we express ourselves. All of it shapes who we believe that we are and how we create relationships with those around us. Sometimes that connection changes or becomes inaccessible due to attachment developed in childhood, conflict, distress, change in resources, policy enacted within systems, or becoming focused on physical and emotional survival.

I specialize in helping individuals & couples heal from childhood trauma, domestic violence, and relational wounds that can make it difficult to feel safe, connected, or understood in life, or in their relationships. Many of the people I work with are navigating the lasting impact of early experiences while trying to build healthier relationships in the present. I support clients as they strengthen communication, develop emotional regulation, and rebuild trust—both with themselves and with others.
I am a neurodivergent therapist who is neurodivergent affirming.

Finding the right therapist can be ROUGH. I am not the stereotypical therapist seen in movies that simply parrot back what is said. I will ask questions, but I will also challenge and dig deeper. I believe that truly effective therapy starts and grows based on a strong, collaborative relationship with natural dialogue as the key component. I specialize in providing individual therapy to adolescents and young adults experiencing (or have experienced) challenges that are interfering with their day-to-day lives. I specialize in trauma, grief/loss, depression, self-harm, anxiety, parent/child dynamics, and any school related issues.

You may be standing at a threshold, unsure of what comes next. Maybe you're feeling disconnected—from your partner, your family, or even yourself. Maybe you've spent years shaping yourself to fit others’ expectations, and now you're wondering: What would it mean to choose myself? Therapy can be a space to untangle those old patterns, to grieve what’s been lost or denied, and to begin the work of becoming who you were always meant to be.

Congratulations! You have taken the first step toward healing by seeking help. It is important that the relationship between you and your therapist is a good fit, based on mutual respect and trust. I use a strength-based and practical approach. I have a sense of humor which seems to help clients feel more comfortable. Therapy's primary focus is on the present with an understanding of the effects of past events on current behaviors and the need to process unresolved issues. "The turmoil of the past is never wholly forgotten, unresolved it seeps through even the strongest foundation."

If you're seeking a compassionate, creative space to explore your story, you're in the right place. I work with adolescents and adults navigating life transitions, identity exploration, grief, anxiety, trauma, and burnout. Whether you're coming out later in life, exploring neurodivergence after a new diagnosis, or simply feeling stuck, I offer a grounding, affirming space to reconnect with your values, creativity, and resilience.

I believe strongly in the inner capacity of all humans to grow and heal in mind, body, and spirit from trauma or barriers faced in life. Due to our interconnected nature, this healing capacity is deepened and broadened through the assistance and support of others. I seek to hold a safe space through the therapeutic relationship to allow for the development of greater understanding and appreciation of self. Through this process, people begin to heal, make meaningful changes and courageously act in ways that reflect their authentic self.

We all have past experiences that shape us. Some good and some that we do our best to forget. But, your brain does not forget, and what we try to suppress is still there shaping our thoughts daily. I am an EMDR trained therapist and focus on anxiety/depression, past-trauma, divorce/separation, toxic relationships, and negative seIf-talk/faulty thinking. You may have tried talk therapy before, but are still struggling. EMDR can heal your brain and help you change your trajectory. Allow me to walk beside you in this incredible experience of self-discovery and healing. Note: I am a telehealth only therapist.

Do you feel lost? What is your identity - your sense of self? Are you your own person, or are you someone else's? I hope in partnership with you to define who you are at your core. Whether you struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, or any other mental health symptom; our humanity is not just physical, but emotional as well. Thus, it is necessary for us to direct our attention to the wound in that child-self, an emotional wound that informs our mental health challenges. I will use the tools I have to bring an understanding to yourself, and to build coping and boundary-setting skills to put to practice that insight.

You can heal by recognizing how important your thoughts and feelings are in navigating this world. We often use our minds to solve everything and sometimes we "solve" ourselves into trouble. We become fragmented when we problem solve without taking the time to tend to our whole self. Use all of you to integrate what has been fragmented by trauma, be it divorce, depression, anxiety, family issues, grief, etc. In a Christian setting I will be guide you to access your thoughts, feelings, and spirituality to help you become more authentically yourself, allowing you to use your strengths and create more peace in your life.

Are you struggling with daily tasks? Do you want more out of your relationships? Does it feel as though your heart is heavy? Struggles like this can require a helping hand and therapy can be the step you need. Therapy has the potential to empower and guide growth to overcome the challenges that life brings. It has the ability to bridge tough conversations, acknowledge the impact that the greater society has on us and unpack the emotions that feel unexplainable. Soon that checklist can feel smaller, relationships feel more fulfilling and that weight a bit lighter.
