I am incredibly honored to work with each and every client, not just in my own journey as a therapist, but in the life journeys of every individual I serve. I wish to see each client experiencing life to the fullest, regardless of the obstacles that inevitably occur along the way. We each have strengths and skills to carry us through, and it is my passion to help each client through that process. Sometimes life throws things at us that leave us shaken and confused, but even then, we can and will persevere.

I received my Masters in Counseling and Human Development from Lindsey Wilson College in 2018 and have done therapy in different outpatient settings. My passion is working with adults of all ages work through the many transitions and stages in life. I love allowing my clients the ability to step into a world where they feel their most authentic and recognized. To some this may mean conquering past or current trauma, setting boundaries, and even learning to advocate for one’s self. Whatever this looks like for you is where our work together begins. With this is mind, I approach therapy with the mindset of a partnership that allows space and time for you to learn new strategies for life rather than answers to problems.
