I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) and have been in practice since 2011. I provide individual therapy, couples therapy & family therapy online as well as in an outpatient setting. Special areas of interest include working with those struggling with emotions, relationships, stress management and general life obstacles. I also have a special area of interest in animal assisted therapy and use of emotional support animals. I can help by validating your feelings, hearing your story and empowering you to make steps towards change. I can help you identify your feelings and give you strategies to help regulate emotions. I can provide you with techniques that will help to decrease symptoms while working to get at the root of the symptom while supporting you throughout the process. It's hard to reach out and ask for support. But support is an option. Personally, I follow Brene Brown's words: "We don't have to do all of it alone. We were never meant to". Feel free to call or email with any questions or concerns or to set up an appointment. Take care.

It’s your life – make the proper connection. You are looking for a change. Trying to manage a family, career, and friendships while finding time for yourself as the daily cycle continues leaves you exhausted. So many tasks left undone. Life feels overwhelming. Thoughts of tomorrow keep you awake at night. You have no more empathy toward others, making you feel irritable and snippy. Your gas tank is empty, and your relationships are struggling. You want to succeed, yet keep desperately searching for balance and a way to rejuvenate. But – you feel lost on where to begin. If you want to live with more joy and confidence, heal from your past, or gain a deeper connection with everyone in your life – yourself included – you are in the right place. We will work together to finally release the harmful beliefs that have held you back for too long. Learn to treat yourself with the compassion and love you deserve! Find the right path forward. We will work together to establish the path right for you. We will use a combination of therapeutic modalities to help you reshape your sense of self, reprocess past traumas, and find healing. As we identify your goals, we can develop a treatment plan with the best approaches for you. Sharing your most intimate parts from your past can be scary. Regarding therapy, there are many paths to start your healing journey. The relationship you build with your provider is essential in allowing you the comfort and safety to begin on your path. I am a compassionate, supportive, person-centered therapist that believes that every client has individualized needs and healing comes from within. I do not have super powers. I am just a human helping other humans! Work with me will be challenging, however you will find it rooted in a relaxed, safe, and nonjudgmental space, allowing you to present your authentic self. As your provider, I will also show up with my authentic self; this might mean a t-shirt, cowgirl boots, and a ballcap – some days, dressed in a sweatshirt and jeans. There is nothing extra fancy here and no expectations for how you present to the session! Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy attending children's sporting events, cooking, gardening, and spending time on my farm with my children and husband. I am currently available to provide services to all genders ages 18 and up. I look forward to working with you!
