Get To Know Me
If you could pick one movie or book that influenced your approach to therapy, what would it be and why?
I’d choose It’s a Wonderful Life. It’s a classic that always reminds me that every person has value and that life would be so different without them — a perspective I bring to therapy, especially when helping clients struggling with purpose and meaning. Another favorite is Man’s Search for Meaning, which inspires me to help clients discover their strengths and resilience even in difficult times.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Clients can expect a compassionate and practical approach focused on their individual goals. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, career stress, and major life changes, helping them develop coping strategies, gain clarity, and move forward in ways that feel meaningful. I provide telehealth counseling tailored to each client, combining faith-informed guidance with practical tools to support growth, resilience, and balance in daily life.

Education
University of Mary, Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Clinical Mental Health Counseling, 2021 — I trained in a variety of clinical settings, including community agencies, state programs, and private practice, working with children, teens, families, and adults. Today, I primarily work with adults, supporting those facing career or work-related stress, major life transitions, and loss or grief. I approach therapy with a faith-informed perspective and provide compassionate, telehealth-based care tailored to each individual.
University of Mary, Bachelor of Arts, General Studies, 2017
Work HistoryIn my private practice, I work primarily with adults, supporting those struggling with career burnout, anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions. I bring over seven years of experience in behavioral health, which began with providing ABA therapy for children on the autism spectrum and continued with work supporting youth and adolescents in psychiatric rehabilitation and community agency settings. I have also worked with families in foster care and completed internships and positions in state agencies serving diverse populations. These experiences have shaped my understanding of mental health challenges and equip me to provide compassionate, faith-informed, telehealth counseling tailored to each individual.
