Hello and welcome. My passion is working with adolescents, young adults, and the families who support them. My connection with adolescents is built on trust, safety, comfort, respect, and understanding, which allows me to create relationships with teens that can be hard fought with other adults. Speaking what can seem to be a foreign language and creating a bridge to families through the translation of that language brings purpose to my work. I have over twelve years of experience working with adolescents and families in different capacities and have dedicated my career to working exclusively with this population.

I named my business Life Journey Counseling because I believe that we are all on a journey. We typically have ideas about where we are headed and how we will get there, but life often deals us something different...something we didn't plan for. How we handle that is the key to our own personal growth. I am inspired by the power of people to help themselves, but also a firm believer in the importance of having support and help when we need it. I help people through the therapeutic relationship we form to realize their full potential.

The weight of your grief feels overwhelming, and it seems like the lightness you once knew is out of reach. Whether you're facing the loss of a loved one, navigating a major life change, or questioning who you thought you were, everything feels uncertain. There’s a heaviness in your heart, and the feeling of shame makes you retreat from those who care about you most and lash out at them. The isolation can feel suffocating, and the loneliness only deepens during such a difficult time. You once had a path forward, but now every day feels like an uphill climb, leaving you wondering how you’ll ever make it through.

To me, being a therapist is allowing the individual to be their true authentic self and to help guide them to reach their full potential. I have found in my time of being a therapist that each individual has the capacity and the tools already within them. Each time I sit with a client, I feel honored that they have allowed me to come along on their journey of healing and that they are sharing with me sides to them that they may not share with anyone else.

You want to not just feel better, but to GET better...and in a way that makes sense, addresses what is important to you, and is effective and empowering. Good therapy is not a temporary Band-Aid, but will help you develop knowledge and skills that last a lifetime. Real change involves a better sense of self-worth, understanding yourself and others, more tools in managing and expressing emotions, and more effective communication skills in relationships. We will clarify your main concerns and goals, identify the barriers to change, and then use your strengths and new tools to find solutions that fit your personality and lifestyle.
