About Me
Starting counseling is a significant, courageous step. I’m passionate about helping clients process trauma, identify their values, and find shelter from life’s storms. Whether you are navigating a challenging season, working through past experiences, or simply feeling stuck, I am honored that you are here.
My approach is grounded in person-centered and trauma-informed care, which means I focus on creating a safe, supportive space where people feel genuinely heard and accepted. My role is to provide a steady space where we can collaborate to help you move forward. Through collaboration, we’ll make meaningful connections between your past and present, explore the relationship between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and learn what it means to stay grounded in the present while cultivating self-compassion.
With a specialization in working with children, teens, and young adults, working with younger populations holds a special place in my heart. I love creating a space where they feel free to be themselves, share what’s on their minds, and begin to build the tools they need to navigate challenges both now and in the years ahead. For parents, I strive to be a consistent teammate—someone who supports both your child and your family as a whole.
My hope is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted—exactly as you are. I believe in and search for beauty, truth, and goodness in every story, and I want to encourage you as you discover your path forward. Above all, it is always an honor to be invited to walk alongside my clients. Whatever you’re carrying and wherever you’re starting from, my hope is that our time together brings clarity, resilience, and a renewed sense of hope for the road ahead.
