My passion is to help aid my clients in identifying who they are, where they are, and where they are wanting to get too. I work to help resolve conflict individually, in families, and/or in relationships. Each client’s story and the journey are specific to them so my goal is to shape treatment to the specific needs of each person. We will work through the difficult moments, learn skills to aid in independence, and become comfortable enough to reach out for support when something is not working. Breaking patterns and creating new ones based off the person/family/couple you strive to be is the goal of each session. I am a LPC and a Certified Anger Management Specialist II. I have a Master’s Degree in Psychology, and a 2nd Masters Degree in Clinical Counseling and Sex therapy.

My mission is to meet each client where they are. I understand that life gives each person their own battles but I stand firm in not having to face the battle alone. Knowing there are people out there ready to help you without judgment is what drove me to be a therapist. I am that person and I can be that person for you.

People have always been and continue to be my passion. The desire to help people gain perspective and reach their goals has been the driving force behind my career as a therapist. Throughout my career, I have gained education and experience in multiple disciplines of therapy, including substance use, family therapy, DBT, inpatient residential, inpatient crisis, community counseling, and outpatient therapy. The foundation of my approach is laid in validation, change, accountability, and acceptance. With these core elements I strive to provide a client centered approach to treatment that is both beneficial and effective to all needs and diagnosis.

Therapist, coach, wife, mom - but most of all, human. As someone with personal experience living with chronic pain and illness, I know what it’s like to feel like you’re trying everything, doing everything right, and seemingly getting nowhere. If you’ve ever been told “your labs are completely normal” or “there’s nothing wrong with you” but you’re in constant pain and discomfort, you’ve come to the right place. My main work is with those who experience hard-to-diagnose health issues and syndromes. Things like gastro-intestinal problems, arthritic pain, back pain and other bodily aches, and genetic disorders are all within my wheelhouse. We work on things like managing stress, building healthier relationships (with romantic partners, friends, and healthcare professionals), and healing childhood emotional wounds. How I show up with clients stems not only from my lived experience but also from my decade of training with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I am also trained in Year 1 of Somatic Experiencing, which means that I believe trauma lives in the body - not in your thoughts. There is a strong connection between chronic illness / chronic pain and the following emotional struggles: -Perfectionism -Procrastination / lack of motivation -Childhood emotional neglect -Finding it hard to relate to others -Feeling alone/isolated, even within your romantic relationship -Lack of meaning/purpose in life
