My approach to therapy is to help clients change behavior patterns and build a life in line with their values. I collaborate with clients to identify their treatment goals within a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship. I treat clients throughout the lifespan who struggle with anxiety, depression, child behavioral issues, parent-child conflict, OCD, and difficulty adjusting to life transitions. Additionally, I have experience treating concerns around perfectionism, body image, perinatal/postpartum issues, and family conflict. My goal is to help you get back to living your life with the right tools for success.

My style is warm, thoughtful, and direct. I often assign homework and exercises in between sessions to help maximize the benefits. I offer active, results-oriented therapy to curious clients who are seeking relief, empowerment, and greater connection and care in their interactions.

**Telehealth only at this time** My practice focuses on assisting teens and emerging adults in navigating their complex world and the issues that are common for them including anxiety, depression, body image issues, and self-harm. I often hear "I feel like I don't know what I'm doing" and therapy can be a place where this feeling is both normalized (who does know what they're doing?!) and to gain more perspective on how to cope with challenges while finding their place in this world.

I hope to develop short term/ long term achievable goals in collaboration with clients who are willing to change behaviors. While change is scary for most, clients understand the benefits of making changes in their thinking and lifestyle. If you find yourself stuck in where you are in life, now is the time to reach out for guidance. I believe most people have answers to their questions within.

Accepting New Clients -I am a Christian Counselor and Life Strategist. What this means is that I use psychology and Biblical principles to help you create and live your best life possible. This is important to me because all my life I’ve had dreams about Big accomplishments, Big success, and Big things. When I looked around, I was convinced that I was living the wrong life. It wasn’t until I began to learn and apply Biblical principles to my life that I realized that I wasn’t living the wrong life, but my life was what I created. I had to unlearn, relearn, and then begin creating the life and relationships I desired.

I offer a respectful, varied, and empathic approach to therapy. My goal is to work with you to identify personal strengths, develop and hone coping and problem solving methods, and create ways to establish and sustain a mental and emotional balance.

I offer a two-prong approach to supervision: preparing for the exam and honing clinical skills transferrable to any practice settings. Fee for at least 100 hours of clinical supervision is negotiable.

Every person is unique in their personality and life circumstances, therefore, their treatment approach will be suitable to fit their unique situation.

Embrace your lived experiences is definitely my motto! I am also a strong advocate that there is enormous strength that emerges from having empowering relationships in your life. We can work to analyze, navigate, and find these relationships. This will allow you to live a life with increased connection and vibrance.

I aim to be anti-racist, feminist, trans-accepting, sober questioning, and understanding of those who are voice hearers. In sum, all are welcome here!

I believe that we all are doing the best we can with the resources and knowledge we have. But in today’s world, relationships, school, work, and other pressures can create challenges that make us feel like our best is not enough, diming the light that shines within us. I want to partner with you to nurture that light to shine brightly, fostering connection both within you and with your outside world. I offer individual & group therapy to address areas that include self-esteem, life transitions, uncomfortable emotions, relationships & reducing/managing symptoms.
