I am passionate about helping others brave life’s challenges by feeling and becoming strong in mind and spirit. I deeply enjoy working with people as they overcome a range of mental health issues, including past trauma, anxiety, depression, dissociation, postpartum health issues,  and many more. 

In the counseling session,  I work to balance the science of the mind with a laid-back style, putting you in the driver’s seat of your health while offering tools to help you feel most equipped to handle the array of challenges you may be facing.  I enjoy adapting my counseling style to your needs, adjusting as you grow in wellness.

I am a Jesus-follower, which inevitably affects my worldview and some of how I approach the counseling space.  Namely, I bring with me a belief that every human is deeply loved, valued, and worthy.  I do enjoy working with those of all belief systems, and respect whatever level of spirituality you feel comfortable with involving in your sessions.

Life is hard. There are constant experiences, feelings, hopes, dreams, successes, failures, and thoughts to navigate and process. Sometimes we do okay navigating life without extra help, other times we need a safe space and fresh perspective to learn, grow and heal. I am always deeply honored when someone trusts me to create that space and walk alongside them in their journey to understand themselves and the world around them. I believe that you are the expert concerning your life, and my job is to collaborate with you to help you achieve your goals.

I enjoy working with people of all ages, life stages, backgrounds, religions, and ethnicities. I have experience working with clients who have a wide variety of mental health concerns and am a trauma informed practitioner. I am also trained in Neuro Emotional Technique and enjoy incorporating art into the therapeutic experience when relevant. 

Navigating life as a permanently and totally disabled veteran, I’ve transformed my journey into one of resilience inspired service. Having experienced and accepted the universality of trauma, I understand the profound impact our responses have on shaping the trajectory of our lives. As a mental health counselor, my approach is non-diagnostic in nature, grounded in meeting individuals wherever they are in their unique life paths.

My commitment is to provide a compassionate space for healing and personal development, with a focus on strengths while acknowledging areas for improvement. I aim to join clients on their journey of growth, recognizing the limitless potential within each person. Inspired by Christian values, as well as my education in clinical psychology, I celebrate diversity and believe in fostering an inclusive space for all individuals to learn, grow, and thrive. Through a collaborative and supportive therapeutic process, I guide clients towards achieving their goals and unlocking their full potential, proving that even in adversity, meaningful transformation is possible.
