Our Team
Most people who seek counseling do so because something in their life is just not quite right. Perhaps you have already identified what is off in your life - depression, anxiety, a negative relationship. Or perhaps you just know something is off. I work with each of my clients to get to the core of their struggles. Then I help my clients experiment with new solutions, new perspectives, and new ways of being. I believe therapy is a journey of exploration, understanding, and new choices and I enjoy helping my clients connect to the core strength they never knew they had.

I'm currently accepting new clients in Johnston! My practice is centered on meeting people where they are and collaborating to identify goals and pathways for growth, whether that involves developing coping strategies, managing stress, improving communication, exploring identity and values, processing trauma, or navigating life transitions. I believe therapy should be a space where clients feel comfortable addressing whatever is most important to them. I offer individual and family therapy to children (ages 10 and up), teens, and adults and I have experience working with high-needs adolescents and their families.

I am a licensed psychologist who works with clients struggling with a range of mental health challenges, and I have advanced training and experience in treating PTSD, OCD, and anxiety disorders. Some of the people I work with have struggled for years with something they couldn't quite name or assumed they'd simply have to live with. Conditions like OCD and PTSD are often missed or misunderstood — the symptoms can be hard to put into words, and they frequently don't look the way people expect them to. I can help you figure out what's really going on so that we can treat it directly.

I’m currently accepting new clients and enjoy working with children, adolescents, and college-aged young adults as they navigate the many emotions, experiences, and challenges that come with growing and finding their place in the world. I support clients who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, ADHD, or autism.
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and person-centered. I believe meaningful progress begins with feeling safe, heard, accepted, and comfortable enough to be yourself.

Whether it's anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, or tackling a new chapter of life, I love working with clients who are ready to understand themselves better and looking for support in their growth. I believe every person has their own unique set of patterns for tackling life and emotions, and problems often arise when these patterns are no longer serving us well. It can be difficult and frustrating to seek a better life if we do not first understand what has brought us to our current struggle or what still stands in our way. I'm here to be a listener, companion, and problem-solver while you're on that journey.

I am a therapist specializing in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), and anxiety disorders. I am incredibly passionate about helping adolescents and adults break free from the cycles of fear, avoidance, and compulsive behaviors that keep them from living the lives they want.
I believe therapy should be both compassionate and effective, and work to create a supportive environment where you'll feel understood while also being challenged to make meaningful changes in your life, accept uncertainty, and live in support of your values.

Something feels off. Perhaps you have some ideas about what’s wrong, but you aren’t sure how to feel better. Maybe you are experiencing relationship issues, or just feel like you are alone even when you know you have people who care about you. It may even be possible that you are uncertain there is anything wrong at all because you’ve always felt this way - but is it really this hard for everyone? There are many people just like you that could be living happier and healthier lives - they just don’t know how to get there.

Change can be difficult—even when you know what you want to be different. I provide therapy and psychological testing that can help people better understand themselves, find practical tools, and make meaningful changes in their lives. Most of the people I work with have concerns such as anxiety, OCD, depression, body image, academic difficulties, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I especially enjoy working with children who are experiencing emotional/behavioral concerns and partnering with parents to better understand and support their child. I welcome clients who would like faith to be incorporated in therapy.
