When you’re ready to move out of the confusion of your story and find clarity in it, while gaining the tools to help cope with anxiety, depression, or other areas affecting your life, I am here for you. I am a person-centered Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who utilizes various theories to help you on your counseling journey in order to create and achieve your goals. My mission is to be an objective, receptive, and open-minded counselor who acts in your best interest at all times.

My specialties include helping college-aged students navigate adulthood and new responsibilities, with goals of managing time and stress better; individuals going through relationship problems, boundary issues, and finding their authentic selves; adults who have experienced loss or trauma, whether that be as part of their past or an ongoing situation in their life; patients who suffer from anxiety, OCD, and eating disorders, with goals of not being controlled by their disorders; and patients with goals of gaining more confidence and self-esteem.

I look forward to assisting you in realizing your mental health goals as we work together.

Grab a cup of coffee or tea – any drink really. Get comfortable, and expect to be heard and seen, able to talk openly and honestly without judgement, when you’re in my care. I offer a person-centered approach that revolves around you and your unique needs, and is based around core values of acceptance, autonomy, and being genuine. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Internal Family Systems therapy, I guide you toward discovering who you are and what you want most out of life, as I am passionate about healing through the changing of thought processes.

I knew I wanted to be a counselor at a young age, as friends opened up to me easily. This interest started me along a journey of self-discovery, where I learned more about myself as a person and how to heal all parts of me, which helps me assist others in their own healing journeys. More experiences along the way led to my schooling and commitment to providing person-centered care with an intuitive and open-minded perspective.

In my free time, I love honing my green thumb skills by being around and taking care of my many, many plants! More hobbies include immersing myself in nature, learning new things, caring for animals, and crocheting.
