Are you a young adult trying to figure out how to handle what life seems to throwing at you? Maybe you’re struggling with figuring out if you should go to college, enter the career field, or start a family? Are you pregnant and experience some overwhelming anxiety? Postpartum and struggling with sadness? Feeling isolated or struggling to find the balance between being “mom” and who you were before becoming mom? I’m here to help and want you to know you are NOT alone! My goal is to come alongside you to learn what issues may be weighing you down and how we can work together to have you experiencing the joy you desire in your life.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in young adults and perinatal mental health including pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood. I have over 12 years of experience in the mental health field including advocating for survivors of sexual assault, providing case management to young adults with serious mental illness, and serving in the field of adoption. For the last 5 years, I have concentrated on providing individual counseling and therapy at local non-profits and through private practice.
I realize that life can be so chaotic as you’re pulled into multiple directions so my goal is not to add MORE to your “to-do” list, but to help you identify the strengths you already possess to achieve your goals. It is my belief that YOU have value and purpose. YOU are capable of growing, changing, and healing. Let me help you discover your purpose and provide you with the support you deserve.

Arika is amazing! She’s been an essential part of my healing process and I don’t know where I would be without her support and guidance. I’m looking forward to continue to work with her and see where this healing journey takes me.
