I have been working with individuals (adults and children), couples, and families for over a decade. I enjoy meeting people where they are and helping them meet their goals. I believe therapy should be collaborative and tailored to meet the needs of each individual. Throughout treatment, I work to support, encourage, and help clients make substantial and maintainable change.
In the first session, I seek to learn what brought a client to meet with me, understand their goals for treatment, and work together to make a plan for treatment. It is important to understand goals according to the individual and tailor treatment to motivate authentic change.
I am very optimistic, hard-working, and empathetic. I work to understand people without judgment. I believe people do the best they can with what they have and have lived through. I believe everyone can make changes and improve their lives.
I have lived in the Midwest throughout my life, but I believe the human experience can be relatable in how people navigate difficult situations, trauma, and relationships. I work diligently to understand and relate to each client I have the privilege to work with. I believe being invited to walk with people through challenging times in their lives is a great honor and responsibility.

I tailor treatment to each individual, couple, or family. I have been using CBT with clients throughout my career, while adding in other techniques and theories that help to meet each client's needs. CBT has good results across a multitude of client bases and over the years since it's development.
