Making a positive impact on my client's lives and futures has been my life's work and incredibly rewarding. My professional journey has included counseling clients through hardships, anxiety, divorce, transitions, and life's obstacles. I am comfortable treating a variety of other disorders relating to parenting, mood, and anger issues.

I believe the most important part of making therapy successful is establishing a trusting relationship where I then empower the client to pursue their desired goals and overcome barriers preventing that outcome. I am very client-centered and base tools and modalities on the individual's strengths and personality. Often these interventions pull from theories such as motivational interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution-focused, and Humanistic. I am happy to intertwine Christian faith into treatment if desired.

When I graduated from undergrad I worked in a level 14 group home. I saw how much the residents struggled with their situation and mental health, but felt like I couldn't help with their level of trauma and pain as much as I wanted to. That inspired me to go to graduate school and pursue an LMFT licensure to expand my ability to reach and help others.

I love spending time with my husband and 3 kids. My other interests include going to sporting events, going on walks, traveling, concerts, and trying new foods.

I go on walks daily or sit outside and enjoy nature to re-center and focus on the now and what I'm grateful for.

I love watching crime shows (FBI, Law and Order, etc) to relax and recharge.

We have one cat but are hoping to get 2 kittens soon. I had cats all growing up and my favorite childhood cat would do everything with me including eating my leftovers, and even hiding in my pocket to go on adventures.
