* ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* Over the course of our lives, we experience life changes and unexpected events. Therapy is a place where one can process and adjust to these transitions and events. Through my education and experience, I have learned how to help clients work through these changes. Therapy will not only help one learn skills during this time of adjustment, but it will also help one learn how they can utilize these skills and strengths when they need them in the future. Over the past few years, through practicums and work experience, I have learned how to help clients across many populations adjust to life's changes. Please call or email with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you and how we can work together to help you move forward.

Do you find it difficult to manage the stress in your life? Are you motivated to make positive changes that will improve your overall well-being? Do you want to better understand who you are so that you can start cultivating rewarding life experiences? If you are tired of being bogged down by the stress of life and are motivated to start making healthy change, then I am ready to walk with you on this journey. I have a passion for working with the LGBTQ+ community and the many challenges that they face daily. I focus on building a therapeutic relationship so that you feel comfortable discussing and exploring the thoughts and emotions that first brought you to my door. I focus on being a genuine person and therapist; I won't try to be the smartest person in the room or pretend that I have all the magical answers. My focus is on you and the goals we develop. Life is difficult and we are not always taught the best ways of coping with this stress, especially in our society. I am passionate about helping people make fulfilling change so that they can be who they are and live life to the fullest. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me so I can help you on your journey.

I work best with students who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or trying to make sense of a lot of emotions at once. You might be navigating big transitions, relationship stress, academic pressure, or feeling unsure about who you are or what comes next. Sometimes everything looks “fine” on the outside, but internally it feels heavy or hard to manage. The students I work with are often thoughtful and self-aware, but may feel stuck, overthinking, or emotionally drained. They’re looking for a space where they can slow down, understand what they’re feeling, and learn how to manage stress in a way that actually works for them. If you’re open to exploring your experiences, building emotional awareness, and finding more balance and clarity, we would likely be a good fit.

As a therapist rooted in a client-centered approach, I am committed to providing you with empathy, compassion, and a peaceful, supportive environment where you can safely explore your past traumas, and manage stress, anxiety, depression, and more. Together, we will work collaboratively to uncover and address underlying trauma, develop effective coping strategies, and build self-awareness. I have experience working with individuals facing a variety of mental health and substance use disorders. In our sessions, I draw upon evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, while also being able to integrate faith into our work if it aligns with your values. Healing and growth are not destinations but ongoing processes of discovery, transformation, and becoming. My role as your therapist is to walk alongside you on this lifelong journey, fostering holistic change and resilience every step of the way.
