Expect to cooperate in constructing personal goals that accurately reflect your personality and preferences and creating short- and long-term growth strategies. My focus is to develop in-depth understanding of your situation, and I work with you in creating a map of your experiences. Our sessions will include skill development, thought mapping, and rehearsing for real-life situations. My previous career history includes a five-year stint in the US Army as a religious affairs sergeant, outreach and humanitarian work, personal training, research, and addiction treatment. Balancing academic demands, social pressures, and future uncertainties can be overwhelming. My approach to counseling acknowledges the paradoxical nature of our unique experiences of shared, universal occurrences. We live in a stressful world of promise, excitement, strife, and loneliness, and seek to find meaning and security in our journey. Students strive to find meaning and purpose with authenticity, yet find themselves dedicated to balancing social and academic expectations. My mission is not just to counsel but to encourage and empower you to develop insight, clarity, peace, confidence, and connection. I am here to engage you in your world, time, and situation and to journey alongside you as we accomplish your goals. Whether you're dealing with stress, anxiety, life transitions, or a desire for greater fulfillment, I'm here to support you on your journey.

“People have no idea that I’m really falling apart on the inside.”... “I feel like this world wasn’t built for me, and it’s so hard to figure out how to stay afloat.”...“I’m so overwhelmed all the time.”...“I’m doing my best, but it never feels good enough.” You aren't alone in any of these feelings. I hear you, and I am here for you. I take a primarily strengths-based approach that focuses on getting to know you. I am affirming of all identities, and I welcome any identity exploration. I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable to be yourself. My goal is to support you with individualized approaches so that you can be the most fulfilled in your life. I am passionate about helping the queer community, anyone who believes they may be neurodivergent, or anyone struggling with anxiety or perfectionism. I would love to get to know you and support you in your journey. If you think we might be a good fit, call or send me a message to talk about how I can help you.

It's daunting to share your true self with someone. Perhaps you are still seeking your true self and have found yourself here, wondering if I might be able to help you. I want to walk with you towards authentic living. The way I view therapy is a bit like an art form. Everyone who walks by a painting will see something different, but it is the artist who holds the greatest knowledge about what that piece of art means. You are a unique individual and I am interested in understanding who you are. My greatest hope for my clients is that they can be seen, heard, and known by me. What kind of art can we create together? Together with my clients, we unearth the essence of their story. We identify patterns, organize the details, and analyze the characters. This process is exceptional, it is a journey, and it can be the adventure of a lifetime. Through this, we discover understanding, recognition, truth, and serenity. If you feel ready to begin the journey with me, give me a call or send a message. You deserve to be seen for all that you are.

I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or transitional stages in their life. During our sessions together, we will look deeply into underlying causes of anxiety, stress, depression, and anything limiting your potential. Together we will examine your unique patterns and beliefs to address your anxiety, depression, or trauma.

“I feel lost and stuck in my life.” “I often feel unheard or misunderstood.” “My efforts never seem to be enough.” “I struggle to reconcile my faith with my identity.” “I carry the weight of past trauma every day.” “Sometimes everything just feels like too much.” These are just a few of the things I have heard from clients who are grappling with anxiety, depression, and trauma. If you recognize yourself in any of these statements, know that you are not alone and that I would be glad to help you navigate these challenges. My specialties include working with those facing anxiety & depression, spirituality and faith related trauma, women’s issues, and LGBTQ+ issues. I understand the profound impact these struggles can have on your life and am here to help. I use narrative therapy and CBT techniques to collaborate with you on reframing your story and moving towards deep healing. My approach is rooted in authenticity, holistic care, and compassion, ensuring that your story is heard and valued. If you are ready to embark on a journey of healing and growth, reach out today. I am here to walk beside you on your unique journey and help you to meet your therapeutic goals. Call or email me to set up your free 15- minute consultation.

It can be scary to admit that something in your life isn't working. Maybe you have found that the feelings of insecurity, hopelessness, or dread just won't go away, no matter how much time and effort you put in. I understand the embarrassment that can come with talking about our perceived pitfalls. Every person experiences their own hardships, and we all need the proper time and space to work through them. I have seen the healing and growth that comes from reflecting on our patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. I will help you discover how these patterns developed and how we can bring lasting change to your life. Starting therapy can be intimidating. I empathize with you and admire the courage it takes to open up to a stranger. I am proud of you. Please feel free to call me or send me a message.

“I feel lost and alone.” “No one truly understands me.” “There is a disconnect between who I am and who I want to be.” These thoughts may feel overwhelming, but there is hope. Everyone has a unique collection of experiences, emotions, and identities. Even though we face challenges in our lives, we don’t have to feel stuck forever. I believe everyone is capable of growth, finding meaning in their life, and becoming more aligned with who they want to be. In therapy, I prioritize a person-centered approach by listening deeply to my clients to better understand their unique goals. Whether beginning therapy or returning to therapy after a hiatus, I aim to cultivate an environment in which empathy, compassion, and authenticity are woven throughout the therapeutic space. I believe that intersectionality plays a critical role in identity, and I am affirming of all LGBTQIA+ and cultural identities. Through collaboration, I am passionate about supporting my clients to achieve their goals and empowering them to live more authentically. If you are interested in seeing if I would be a good fit , please give me a call or send me a message. I look forward to hearing from you!
