About Me
Life is a journey with peaks and valleys, unexpected twists and turns, and sometimes with what seems like no path forward at all. We can find ourselves feeling lost, confused, broken, and powerless to find our way and to move forward. You don’t have to walk this part of your journey alone. It is my role and passion as a counselor to meet you where you are on this journey and help you find the path to healing, freedom, strength, and hope for the future. We all have a story to tell, and I look forward to hearing yours.
I bring an easygoing presence to the counseling room and this is true of me in my personal life as well. My favorite things to do are spend time with family over dinner, have coffee with a friend, go for a walk with my husband and my two pugs, and then snuggle said pugs for the rest of the evening while watching a movie or show. I love story - stories of all kinds (books, shows, movies, theater, musical theater). It's no wonder that my clients' stories are what brings so much joy to being a counselor as well.
Your First Session
I create a relaxing space in our first session to wade into whatever brings you in. Some prefer this ease-in approach while others may want to dive into the deep end. My hope is for you to feel welcomed and safe and able to move at whatever pace you need. We will be able to get to know one another and together we can establish the goals you have for our time together in counseling.
