I provide mindful, compassionate, and strengths-based counseling support intended to arouse empowerment in those who seek to find hope through healing. I believe a strong therapeutic alliance and personal motivation are the most powerful agents for change, growth, healing, and self-improvement. I strive to meet my clients wherever they may be in their lives, providing clinical tools to assist them in achieving their identified treatment goals. I focus on maintaining a safe space physically, psychologically, emotionally, and spiritually where clients feel comfortable facing their challenges and exploring their heartfelt desires.

My counseling philosophy involves allowing a client to be themselves and working to meet them "wherever they may be on their own self discovery journey". I have been in the counseling field for over 20 years and have tremendous experience working with several populations. I have learned that individuals have the innate capacity to grow and become their best selves, given an environment in which they can do so. Asking for help to do this can be very difficult. Regardless of the obstacles in your life, you have the capacity to move forward.

Accepting NEW In Person and Telehealth Clients- If you are feeling overwhelmed or stressed, having a harder time finding joy in everyday activities, or coping with a major life change, you are not alone, these are very human things to be going through. When we have hard times in life, it can cause us to act in ways that are not helpful to who we want to be. Whether you are struggling with reoccurring issues, are unable to cope in a healthy way, or simply want more peace in your life, counseling can help. I primarily focus on working with adolescents and individuals struggling with addiction.

Therapy is a healing journey. My role in that process is to work collaboratively with you to identify struggles and issues, and agree upon a therapeutic approach to help create hope and achieve goals that will bring about positive life changes, such as emotional healing, resiliency, improved mood, increased self-esteem, personal insight and growth, increased self-determination, effective coping skills, improved interpersonal relationships, and an increased sense of empowerment. The Certificate in Human Rights I have from BSU adds to my ability to connect with people from a multicultural perspective and with cultural competence.

I am passionate about my work with my clients. I believe that no matter how challenging the immediate situation may be, there is a manageable path to feeling better. I enjoy working with diverse issues, but I particularly enjoy my work with men, sexual addiction issues, and helping people heal from past trauma. I also work with alcoholism and other substance abuse issues, codependency, and cross-addiction issues. I am trained in EMDR and other trauma treatment methods. I provide a safe and supportive environment for change.

My work is focused on understanding the interconnectedness of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while working to develop understanding of beliefs and values on which behaviors are centered. The foundation of self-understanding supports change and motivation for growth. Within everything I do is a central goal of helping my clients to live fuller and happier lives through insight, growth, and connection to others.

I am a compassionate and dedicated addiction counselor with over a decade of experience working with those who struggle with substance use.

Accepting clients interested in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy in July 2024. My goal is to help my clients not just survive but to thrive. I assist my clients in connecting to their deeper selves in order to discover their individual goals, talents, and desires.

What stands in the way of you feeling whole, supported, connected, and in charge of your life? Sometimes we see ourselves in outdated or inaccurate ways, feel stuck in habits and routines that are burdensome or unfulfilling, struggle in relationships, work too hard to keep pain at bay, suffer terrible losses, and find ordinary life challenges overwhelming and impossible. Whether your struggle involves past trauma, difficult relationships, challenging life transitions, or just navigating through a demanding and ever changing world, you deserve compassionate understanding, support, and relief.

I am currently offering pro bono counseling! You might be feeling like your past wounds or current hardships have taken away your joy. You might feel stuck in a loop that feels difficult to cope with. Or you might be in a season where you know deep down you will eventually move through it but you don't want to do it alone. There is power in inviting an outside, trusted professional into your story in order to process your thoughts and emotions. It is one of the greatest honors of my life to join others in their journey.

Everyone experiences the unexpected. We can't change difficult situations of the past, but we can learn to understand the impact of life events and ways to move forward with ease. Get relief from intrusive thoughts, inability to concentrate, anxiousness, irritability, phobias, over/under reacting, and general feelings of being stuck. I believe in our innate drive to be well.

Currently not accepting new clients. She/Her. I offer an ever-evolving counseling environment that is tailored to fit your individual needs, and one that promotes safety and empathy in order to assist you in your healing process. Our path towards mental wellness and personal clarity can often be winding and confusing; having a therapeutic partner during your journey can often make this process more manageable. My clients have told me that their experience in therapy has been supportive and affirming, yet also challenging enough to help them grow and bring out their best, most authentic self.

Negative self-talk is a never ending loop reminding you that you are not enough and you lack the will-power to reach your goals. Part of you believes you can’t change and this fear keeps you stuck. However, if you are reading this you have not given up on the idea things can get better. Therapy can provide the support your need as you learn to choose what you want rather than reacting from the past or worries for the future.

To me, therapy is a collaborative process and I aim to meet my clients wherever they are on their journey to health. Whether a problem is long-standing and complex, or more recent and straightforward, I want to learn about how they view themselves, others, and the world. We can then identify what does or does not work in their lives and expand upon those areas to create desired change. I am able to assist with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, and grief/loss, among others. I welcome all genders and enjoy working with ages 14 through seniors.

Feeling overwhelmed? Wanting to make changes but don't know where to start? Together we will figure out how to tackle obstacles. We will explore possibilities and challenge behavior patterns that are holding you back.
