I know what it feels like to be overwhelmed, alone, and anxious. As a young adult, I unexpectedly got pregnant with my son. While it was the best thing that ever happened to me, it proved to be extremely stressful and isolating to be a single parent. I found some people didn’t understand and weren’t supportive, which made me feel even more alone. However, there were many people who came alongside me and supported me without hesitation. Through this experience, I learned the healing power of supportive relationships. That’s when I realized I wanted to help others who may feel like I did and decided to pursue a career in counseling.

I believe true, safe, authentic connection and acceptance from another person brings healing. With a safe person by your side, walking through the tears, heartache, and suffering is a little more bearable. It validates the pain and opens the door to exploring all the tough stuff life can throw our way. That’s where therapy comes in.

Life is too short to do it alone and in pain. I want to help you navigate life’s challenges in the best way for you, and connect to your true self along the way. Whether you have goals in mind or aren’t sure where to start, my goal is to work together so you feel safe, heard, and excited about life. I am here for you and ready to help. We’ve got this.
