I am thrilled you decided to begin therapy. Asking for help can sometimes feel overwhelming, and unfortunately, many of us walk around waiting for outside circumstances to change--all the while forgetting we hold the key to change how we think, feel, and behave. Together, my hope is to help you identify and motivate you to achieve your goals.

I am committed to providing a holistic approach that is client-centered. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, reality therapy, solution-focused therapy, and strength-based therapy to meet their goals.

My role is to meet you where you are and provide a supportive environment where we work collaboratively to gain awareness of yourself and others, work through emotions blocking your present enjoyment, and examine your values and assumptions about life.

My job as a therapist is to help you navigate through the stumbling blocks that are preventing you from having the best quality of life. I am here to listen with empathy, provide coping skills and techniques, support, and resources to help you achieve your goals of a better state of mind or a healthier way of life.

Healing trauma and experiencing lasting change is possible. Mindful Therapy & Breathwork focuses on the body and its sensations as the core of therapy.

You might be someone who feels anxious, overwhelmed, or impacted by experiences that still don’t quite feel resolved within you. A lot of the girls and women I work with are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, body image struggles, or relationship patterns they don't fully understand.

I enjoy spending time with my dog, cats, and chickens. My kids are adults, but I try to spend as much time with them as possible. My approach is to set clear goals and treat every session as an opportunity to make progress. I use an eclectic style and different therapy approaches to individualize our work together to best meet your needs.

People want to decrease stress, feel grounded, and secure. It's what I want too. We often become stuck in circumstances and in our own minds, which can cause significant distress and erode our sense of self. I can help you sort through difficult thoughts, emotions, and change behaviors that do not serve you anymore.

Feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward? Together, we’ll explore the patterns that may be getting in your way, build practical tools for navigating current challenges, and work toward greater insight and resilience. Our work can help you better understand yourself and move through life with more clarity and confidence.
