Life can feel overwhelming at times, and you don't have to navigate it alone. I am passionate about helping teens and adults find hope, build resilience, and feel more confident as they work through life's challenges. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, I work to provide a supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and accepted. I earned my Master of Social Work in 2019 and has experience working in substance use treatment, hospice care, and mental health. These experiences have given myself a deep appreciation for the unique journey each person brings to therapy and the courage it takes to ask for help. I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role is not to tell you what to do, but to walk alongside you, helping you discover your strengths, develop practical coping skills, and create meaningful change. I use a person-centered approach, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques to help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while learning healthier ways to respond to life's challenges. As an animal lover and mother, I value connection, compassion, and authenticity. I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where you can feel safe being yourself. My goal is to help you leave each session feeling supported, empowered, and equipped with tools to move toward the life you want to live.

I graduated with my Masters of Arts in Counseling from Cornerstone University and has been a licensed professional counselor since 2021. I have also worked in the mental health field since 2014 serving in a variety of professional roles. I believe that the pursuit of mental health and wellness is like a journey through the wilderness. There are mountains to climb, and valleys to endure. This can seem overwhelming when done alone. I would be honored to walk alongside you to provide the support and guidance you seek on your journey to mental health and wellness. I am passionate about building a strong therapeutic alliance, creating an atmosphere of personal growth and development, and engaging with your distinctive story in a warm and caring environment. Your therapeutic journey is all about you; therefore, my approach is focusing on your needs. As our therapeutic relationship strengthens and we begin to identify areas in which you would like to grow, I will customize and incorporate theories based on goals that you set.
