My Story
My passion for helping others began when I worked with children with special needs. I learned how to offer hope to people in the most challenging of circumstances. On one hand I was in awe of the sacrificial love parents and caregivers show their families. On the other hand, my heart broke when I saw the physical, emotional, psychological, and relational toll this can take on a family.
When I became a parent myself, I was profoundly humbled. Motherhood has been the greatest teaching experience of my life. I have learned so much about myself. Perhaps the most surprising thing I’ve learned is how often I have been asked to look inward, self-reflect, and take care of myself in order to show up best for my child. I carry deep respect for any parent, caregiver, or child who is committed to doing the same work to show up best for their family.
It is my deepest privilege to walk alongside individuals, couples, and families who, along with all the other tasks required of them, are navigating hardships such as anxiety, depression, trauma, disability, and other stresses. I want you to feel so supported that when you leave our time together feeling like you can finally exhale having recentered yourself and knowing how to move forward through whatever difficult season you’re in. Helping individuals and couples build meaningful, healthy relationships is something I truly love.

My Commitments to You
My hope for our time together is that you feel supported, knowing that you no longer have to carry your burdens alone. I commit to creating a warm and safe environment for you to share your story. I believe you are innately equipped with unique strengths and it’s my job to bring out the best in you for yourself and your family.
I value your time and understand that therapy is both a time and financial commitment. I intentionally see clients via telehealth, and I offer sessions in the early mornings as well as evenings to be able to accommodate the busy schedules of parents and working professionals. I love working with a broad range of clients from people who have never tried therapy before and are giving it a shot to people who have been in and out of therapy their whole lives and are looking for a fresh perspective. Wherever you are on your journey, I will meet you there.
My Life Outside Work
I love animals. My cat Pepper is my constant playmate. I have also ridden horses for much of my life and find them to be magnificent creatures. Weekends are family time, and you’ll often find us on a hiking trail, at the zoo, or searching new playgrounds for my son to run wild. Kickboxing, going on walks with friends, and reading are some of my favorite kinds of self-care. Though if I could, I would spend all day with an awesome fantasy novel.
