Who am I? I am an adventure-seeking, outdoor-loving, coffee-drinking girl who happens to love therapy. I am also a huge nerd who can be found reading, playing video games, and playing with my pups on any given day. 

Want to know something that I believe wholeheartedly? You matter. Deeply. Truly. You are worth the effort of building a life worth living. So whether you are working towards building that better life or needing some support wherever you are, I hope you know how welcome you are in my office.

I am a firm believer that we were made for connection. We learn, grow, endure, and flourish in relationships with others. Relationships can be both beautiful and difficult. In the counseling relationship, you can expect me to meet you where you’re at with compassion and understanding in order to walk with you toward where you want to be. I approach counseling utilizing primarily a humanistic theoretical approach where you are viewed from a holistic lens. Humanistic therapy is built on the idea that every person has natural potential for growth and healing within themselves - kind of like how a plant naturally grows toward sunlight. The therapist's job isn't to "fix" you or tell you what to do but to create a warm, accepting environment where you feel safe to explore your thoughts and feelings. With that in mind, based on your needs, I will implement tools and strategies that best serve you as my client.

In therapy with me, you will have a safe and secure space to discuss whatever you’re experiencing right now. We will explore what strengths you have already within you and any areas where additional support may be needed. You can count on the fact that you will not have to go alone. You can expect to remain autonomous in your decision-making while being challenged in a safe and grace-filled environment. My desire is that you will come away from therapy feeling more connected to yourself and to others around you.
