Therapy with me is a collaborative and empathetic journey towards healing and growth. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. My approach is client-centered, meaning I tailor each session to meet your unique needs and goals. Together, we will work towards building insight, developing coping skills, and fostering self-compassion. I am dedicated to supporting you on your path towards greater self-awareness and emotional well-being. Whether you are navigating a specific challenge or seeking personal growth, I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
I am a white cis gender heterosexual women who has played many roles in my lifetime. I am currently a mom, wife, co-parent, friend, and therapist. However, I have also spent time as a single divorced mom and estranged daughter in my past so can appreciate the different roles, we find ourselves in throughout our lifetime. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to process whatever role they find themselves in while we work together to find peace and humility within those roles.
Anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, parenting, repairing parent/ child relationships, and neurodiversity. I began my education with a Bachelor of Psychology because I was fascinated by human behavior and connection. This interest along with having four children myself and working as a middle school counselor has led me to feel confident in understanding child/ teen development. I feel confident in supporting families with understanding their children/ teens and repairing their relationships while keeping appropriate boundaries and expectations.
Are 10 years or older and are committed to the process of therapy.
Are younger than 10 years old, struggle with substance abuse, or are interested in couples counseling.
I believe that one thing that makes my work with adolescents and teens unique is that I currently work in a middle school so fully grasp their experiences with peers, school pressures, and the outside influences they are exposed to. This coupled with my personal experience as a parent gives me great insight to work with the parent/ teen relationship.
I am a lifelong learner so have many learning goals for myself. I am currently studying Inferential Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to better support individuals with OCD and plan to attend a training on Somatic practices in relation to trauma and anxiety.
Currently I am embracing my own parenting journey as my youngest of four children is in 6th grade and I know just how quickly they grow up. My oldest two children are 23 and 21 so have officially left the nest. I am also focusing on self-care and work/ life balance through travel with my husband.
