I’ve been in private practice for nearly 20 years….but there is more than an education or experience.  My work has been filled with the lives of people I have been able to witness heal traumas, or find a new journey, or come to themselves more fully.  Counseling may bring relief, recovery, tools to use or release from pain. Healing is a pathway and I get to walk beside you. I will hold the hope until you can hold it, and I will be honored to go on your journey with you. 

I’ve always carried a deep desire to help people. My first career law enforcement. However, it did not really allow me to really dig in with individuals and help them make changes so they were not continuing the same cycles over and over. I returned to school and pursued my education in behavioral science and then mental health counseling, graduating with my Master’s degree in 2013. I've treated clients in residential treatment, intensive outpatient treatment, community mental health, and in a low to high security, all male state prison. I've worked with individuals from every walk of life. As a therapist and human being I’m always motivated to learn and grow. One of my passions is Equine Assisted Psychotherapy. I have been trained in and previously held certification in the Equine Assisted Growth & Education model. I also earned my EAGALA Military Services Designation to provide culturally competent services to our military members and their families. Another passion is working with our first responders, giving back to those to give so much daily.

At Path to Growth Therapy, I’m dedicated to supporting clients as they navigate life’s challenges and uncover tools and strategies to foster growth and reduce symptoms. Therapy with me is a space for reflection, self-discovery, and meaningful transformation—a stepping stone to real and lasting change. My approach is straightforward and strengths-based, grounded in cultural responsiveness, trauma-informed care, and gender-affirming practices. I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment where you can build a growth mindset and take intentional steps toward a more fulfilling life. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back and empower you to move forward. If you’re ready to see if we’re the right fit, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to start your journey. Let’s work together to create a path toward the life you deserve!
