I believe that each person has the capacity to create and embody the change that they seek for themselves, and by extension, to improve the quality of the relationships they have with those around them. In order to awaken this capacity, I approach the counseling relationship with the intention to understand the unique story of each person I meet – the challenges they have encountered in the past and present, as well as the personal strengths and resources they already possess to overcome these challenges and experience new growth.
I have completed specialized training in adoption-competent mental health services, animal-assisted psychotherapy, and traumatic stress. I have particular interest in providing hope for healing after childhood adversity and adverse religious experiences.​
Working alongside my therapy dog Tee, I serve individuals who are experiencing issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship conflicts.
