“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” — Maya Angelou
Sometimes, our most challenging experiences in life can also be catalysts for change, growth, and healing. Your story matters.
I am completing my Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am grateful to join the Stories team. So much of our lives are impacted by what has happened to us, and many of these things are out of our control. We are not responsible for what happened to us, but we have agency and responsibility in our healing. My style of therapy is relational-focused, ensuring we establish a collaborative environment that feels safe and comfortable for you. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help my clients work through trauma and life by understanding our adaptive and maladaptive behaviors and attachment history.
I welcome all populations of clients to my office. I am specifically passionate about supporting high-achieving women and mothers who may struggle with people-pleasing and relationships. I also help men, women, and adolescents with depression, anxiety, codependency, grief, co-parenting, and trauma.
Spirituality and faith can be integral to the healing process, and I’m here to support you regardless of your beliefs. At your request, I am happy to integrate faith and spiritual practices into our time together.
Outside of school and the therapy office, you can find me enjoying time with my two amazing children, busy with horse riding and baseball, enjoying the outdoors, photography, watching football, lifting heavy weights in the gym, and trading all these textbooks for some fun reading!
I know this work will be one of the greatest honors of my life.
I am here to support you in rewriting your story. I can’t wait to meet you.
