My approach as a counselor


Finding meaning in experiences and curating curiosity and compassion towards the self is inherent to my therapeutic process. I enjoy working with college students, young adults, and adults experiencing life adjustments, relationship issues (romantic, familial, and friendships), and religious trauma/deconstruction. In couples work, I strive to help clients increase intimacy, improve communication skills, and explore how past relationships shape how each person shows up in the current relationship


I utilize a mix of experiential techniques and person-centered, Gestalt, emotion-focused, and relational lenses to guide my sessions and treatment process. Finding the best fit for yourself in a therapist is essential to a positive therapeutic experience. I believe that all individuals possess the strength to grow, heal, and write themselves a new story, given an open space for support, access to resources, and guidance.


Helpful resources I often share:


Outside the counseling world, I love reading, doing embroidery, watching comfort tv, and spending quality time with my animals and husband.
