When I was training for this profession, a professor told me that "people only change when the pain of changing is less than the pain of staying the same." That quote has always stuck with me as a constant reminder of what a big step it is to ask for help. I am glad you are here. We all have stories. They govern our lives, shape our being, cause tremendous challenge, and become catalysts for growth. I have spent my time answering the call to meet people at critical points in their lives and walk with them through difficulty. I use a combination of solution-focused and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to help people discover what works best for them. I believe in the power of the relationship between a therapist and a client. I believe in challenge and support. I believe in meeting people with compassion. I believe in humor as a therapeutic tool. I believe in harnessing your strengths to help you achieve your goals and I would love to help you do just that. That's my story. What's yours?

I believe in a person centered approach where you, the client, are in control of your therapy session. I am here to guide you through your most difficult times and help you to learn how to cope with and work through each of your struggles. Counseling is a journey not a sprint, some things may only need a few sessions whereas deeper issues may take longer. I use techniques from many different theories including Cognitive Behavioral, Trauma Focused, Trust Based Relational Interventions, and Adlerian. I believe the therapeutic relationship is a very important part of therapy so to make sure this is a good match, here is a little about me. I'm a mother of a two small children and a Basset Hound, a wife, daughter, a sibling to four younger brothers and an aunt. My family is very important to me and a big part of my life. I believe anyone has the ability to change, that people are stronger, braver and more resilient than they realize, sometimes, and it is part of my job to help you find this within yourself. Even if the world is falling apart, together we can begin to piece it back together. I love helping others learn about and understand themselves better, so don't hesitate to ask questions or let me know if there is something that you don't understand. You are not alone and together you can do this!
