I completed my Masters of Arts in Counseling at Covenant Theological Seminary in 2019 and went on to earn my license as a professional counselor (LPC). Prior to becoming a counselor, I spent years working with middle and high school students and their families as a coach, teacher, camp-counselor, and youth leader. I enjoy working with adolescents, college students, couples and adults.

My goal as a counselor is to connect deeply with my clients and provide a safe, supportive space where vulnerable things can be shared and growth and healing can occur. I am certain that growth and healing are possible, no matter the journey that has led you to me. 

I work from an integrative model of counseling. I seek to help clients gain insight, helpful skills and tools to improve functioning, and heal from traumatic experiences. My eye is toward restoring a healthy relationship with oneself, others, and God. The evidence-based modalities I often use with clients include; Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment Theory, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Strengths Based Counseling, just to name a few.

Outside the counseling chair I enjoy sharing a good home cooked meal with my husband and sons, baking with sourdough, a good historical fiction, and refinishing old thrifted furniture.
