The storms of life can feel overwhelming and sometimes it's hard to stand on our two feet. ​Fear and anxiety about the future, past pain, trauma, and broken relationships threaten to steal our joy and peace. I believe life is hard and messy sometimes, but also a journey and a process worth enjoying.

​

As a counselor, I love walking alongside individuals and couples as they overcome life's challenges, calm anxiety, and bring joy and meaning back to their lives and relationships. I encourage self-discovery and help my clients uncover the resources and the empowerment they have within themselves.

​

I have a passion for helping women struggling with anxiety, depression, stress/overwhelm, relational issues, life transitions, career challenges, spiritual health, motherhood, self-esteem and body image, weight-loss, nutrition, overall wellness, and health. I also enjoy helping couples bridge the gap between conflict and intimate connection.

​

I am currently working toward full licensure as a Marriage and Family Therapist. I draw from a variety of theoretical approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Theory (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. I believe in a holistic approach that incorporates spiritual, mental, relational, emotional, and physical health. I also welcome the opportunity to integrate faith into the therapeutic process.

​

In my free time, I love spending time with my two children and husband. I enjoy adventurous activities, fitness, boxing, nutrition, baking, hiking, kayaking, traveling, reading a good book by the pool, cozy bonfires & hosting game nights with family and friends.
