I became a counselor because I understand what it feels like to be alone, stuck in a cycle of disinterest for life, overwhelmed with how to get back to the way things used to be. Maybe you this feeling all too well. Maybe you feel disappointed in yourself or are overwhelmed by emotions. Perhaps you feel that you are stuck in an unhealthy relationship, unsure of how things are ever going to change. Maybe you are just flat out exhausted from trying to figure all these different parts of life out. If so, you are not alone.
One of the greatest privileges of my work is getting to walk alongside people as they begin to understand themselves more deeply and heal from painful experiences. It is my desire to help people feel seen, known, and cared for. I work with men and women who feel overwhelmed, emotionally stuck or disconnected. Many of my clients are navigating seasons of transitions, untangling their emotions. Wrestling with shame or fear, or questioning their beliefs and identity. No matter where you find yourself, there is space for you and your story here.
My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and genuinely known. My approach to counseling is collaborative, encouraging, and compassionate. I strive to move at your pace while remaining curious about your lived experiences and intentional about helping you grow.
Asking for help does not make you weak, and struggling does not mean there is something wrong with you. It makes sense you feel overwhelmed, confused, or unsure of where to start. Therapy is not about fixing what is “broken,” but about growing, healing, and gaining understanding.
Change rarely happens overnight, and it can be discouraging for healing to take time. But know the time it takes for healing to happen, you are growing exponentially more than you ever realize. It is my hope you know you do not have to navigate this season alone.
For clients who desire it, I welcome integrating faith into the counseling process. I believe our emotional, relational, and spiritual lives are all deeply connected, and caring for the whole person is vital to meaningful healing. My desire is to create a space where clients feel comfortable exploring questions of faith, identity, and purpose, as well as utilizing their relationship with God in their healing process. Whether faith has been a source of comfort or hurt, I hope to approach those conversations with compassion and honesty.
Outside of counseling, you can find me with a diet coke in hand, wandering through antique stores and thrift shops, or working on some kind of craft. I am always enjoying intentional time with my husband, Reid, and our energetic pup, Winnie!
