I have worked with adolescents and young adults for about 15 years, and recognize what pivotal developmental years these are. I specialize in working with middle and high school students, couples, and young adults. I mostly work with clients who are dealing with relationship issues, depression, anxiety, or significant life decisions. I am Prepare-Enrich certified and can offer helpful tools to couples who wish to do premarital counseling. I believe that my clients are the experts of their own stories, and am honored to get to walk alongside them as they learn more about themselves and seek to re-write parts of their story.
I believe that everyone is searching for purpose and relational connection. I work to promote self-care for my clients, while determining what healthy relationships can look like in their lives. By examining relational patterns, caring for self, and setting realistic and attainable goals, clients can experience more sustainable personal health.
As a therapist, I desire to help empower clients with tools that are necessary to find healing from underlying fear and shame that can be a burden in their daily lives. I believe that finding healing is a holistic process, and that people need to draw on many different levels of support in that process.
