Hi! I completed my degree at Capital Seminary & Graduate School, where I earned my Master’s degree in Family, Couple, and Marriage Counseling. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with a heart for walking alongside others while they work through various types of challenges and difficulties in life. I believe therapy is not a one size fits all situation, I work in tandem with my clients, I listen to their needs, and we create treatment that will help you achieve your goals.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with getting to know each other, what you want to work on, identifying any challenges you are facing. We will then look at the goals you would like to achieve and steps to get you to these goals creating a plan that fits your needs.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have had experience in many areas of life. I experience working with those impacted by substance abuse, enmeshment/codependency, boundaries, trauma, relationship struggles, life struggles, betrayal from unwanted sexual behaviors, depression, grief/loss, anxiety and life changes. I have worked as a peer counselor for over ten years before obtaining my license and starting my career as a therapist so that I could reach and help more people.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I work with couples and individuals ages 18 and up. Everyone is valuable, worthy, and deserves to have support. I offer a safe, non-judgmental environment to work through any challenges you are facing, whether that be life changes, trauma, sexual integrity, betrayal trauma, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, relationship struggles or struggling with using boundaries.
