I am currently a provisionally licensed professional counselor committed to offering children, adolescents, and adults a safe, supportive environment for genuine personal expression, healing, and growth. I hold a Master of Arts in Counseling degree with an emphasis in clinical mental health from Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri, as well as a Master of Education degree from the University of Missouri-St. Louis. While transitioning into mental health counseling, I am continuing to work as a school counselor where I support students' social and emotional needs in the educational setting.

In therapy, you’ll have the opportunity to share your story and discuss your hopes for the therapeutic process. Together, we’ll explore how your life experiences and relationships have shaped you, examine the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors currently influencing your life, and collaborate to set meaningful goals aligned with your personal values. I am dedicated to supporting you through life’s challenges, helping you reframe your experiences, reflect deeply, and develop new strategies for growth.

I believe that everyone has inherent strength that can be a powerful catalyst for healing and transformation. I integrate a variety of therapeutic approaches, drawing from multiple modalities to create a tailored approach for each client to allow for greater flexibility and personalization in treatment. With extensive training in trauma, I have a deep passion for working with individuals facing trauma, anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, spiritual conflict, ADHD, and relationship challenges.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, traveling, volunteering, and spending time with family and friends.
