I believe counseling is a unique experience that should be tailored to the client. Trauma and hardship are non-negotiables in life, but that doesn’t mean you should walk through them alone. I believe everyone desires connection and work to create genuine therapeutic relationships with clients so they feel valued and seen. I work across the lifespan with children, teens, adults, families, and couples to provide support through varying stages of life.
I have experience working with trauma, anxiety, neurodivergence, divorce, family-of-origin issues, and other life transitions. As a military spouse, I am also passionate about working with military families navigating the ins and outs of military life. I believe in a holistic approach to care as humans are complex and one size does not fit all. I am trained in Adlerian Play Therapy, TF-CBT (Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).
Fun facts: I am a former competitive powerlifter, now it is my favorite coping skill. I spend a lot of time with my family. I enjoy running, reading, traveling, and baking. My newest adventure is learning how to garden and bake bread from scratch. :)
