I take a solution focused, strengths based, client-centered lens to help guide you through the process with expertise and care to ensure you're equipped to make lasting changes in your life. Our therapeutic journey together starts by clearly and collaboratively identifying your goals for therapy and understanding the challenges you are facing. From there, we will move forward on the path of meaningful change and long-lasting growth. I often provide an abundance of resources, coping techniques, and skills to help you reach your goals. I tailor each therapy session to meet your individual, unique needs and allow space for what feels most important to you.

Over the past several years, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals, couples, and families navigating a wide range of life challenges and emotional struggles. My journey began with a year and a half internship at Twin Lakes Counseling, where I worked under close supervision as a marriage and family therapist intern. During that time, I supported clients facing anxiety, depression, social anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, childhood trauma, and more complex issues like borderline personality disorder. I also worked closely with couples—helping them improve communication, manage conflict, rebuild trust after infidelity, and deepen their emotional connection. My approach during this time was shaped by a combination of therapies that center the client’s strengths, stories, and relationships. I was trained in solution-focused therapy and deeply influenced by narrative therapy, emotion-focused therapy, and family systems thinking. These methods helped me learn how to truly listen, help people make sense of their experiences, and find paths forward that felt meaningful to them. After completing my internship and graduate studies, I stayed on at Twin Lakes Counseling for another year and a half—this time as a licensed associate marriage and family therapist. During this phase, I continued working with many of the same concerns, while also expanding my experience into areas like hoarding, PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder), postpartum depression and anxiety, and panic attacks. I was lucky to work with several different supervisors during this time, each with their own style and therapeutic background, which gave me a broader set of tools and perspectives to draw from in my work. After passing the national licensing exam and completing the requirements for full licensure, I opened my own private practice, where I’ve continued working with individuals, couples, and families. Now, I often work with individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression, or navigating low self-esteem and self-criticism. I work with couples who are navigating conflict, trying to increase communication, deepen intimacy and connection, or are navigating life as new parents. I also work with families who are trying to heal old wounds, communicate better with their teenage or adult children, or increase family relationships and connectedness. It’s been a joy to create a space that feels warm, grounded, and collaborative—where clients can feel safe exploring their stories and working toward the changes they want in their lives.
