Do you have a stack of partially read self-help books collecting dust in the corner? Maybe you had hopes they would provide the information you were seeking to stay cool and collected through challenging times - because let’s face it, 2020 was pretty much a shitshow. It is alright to feel overwhelmed, confused, and uncertain, just know you don’t have to stay in that place. Whether you are looking for coping strategies to build resiliency through life transitions or wanting to explore deeper parts of yourself and how you relate to the world, I would be honored to walk along side you in your healing journey to find your authentic self. We can work together to create transformational change.
I wholeheartedly believe in the ability for people to make changes regardless of life circumstances. Our sessions will be filled with humor, empathy, and compassion as we focus on making progress towards your desired outcome.

I am a therapist that welcomes all, humbly, and strives to build community with those I encounter. You are welcome here, however you may be.
My therapeutic approach is person-centered, solution-focused, and holistic. I believe that each client and family is unique, and I work collaboratively to determine which methods are most beneficial for their specific goals and circumstances. Together, we create a plan that promotes growth, healing, and meaningful change.
In addition to traditional psychotherapy, I often incorporate creative and mindful practices such as art therapy, mindfulness, breathwork, and music to deepen the healing process and engage clients in a more integrative way. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where individuals and families can find balance, resilience, and fulfillment.
What is your approach to therapy?I am a licensed therapist with a master’s degree in Social Work from St. Louis University, where I specialized in children and family counseling. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with children and families across foster care, school settings, and private practice. My experience includes supporting children and youth facing challenges such as ADD/ADHD, mood disorders, behavioral outbursts, anxiety, depression, and academic difficulties.
In my work with individuals, I focus on fostering effective communication, nurturing positive interactions, and building stronger emotional connections. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify and address the core sources of struggles such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and issues with self-worth.
What can clients expect from their first session with you?During our first session, clients can expect a welcoming, supportive, and judgment-free space where they can begin to share their story at their own pace. I view this initial meeting as an opportunity for us to get to know one another and start building a trusting therapeutic relationship.
We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, your current challenges, and what you hope to achieve. I’ll also ask some background questions to better understand your experiences, strengths, and goals. Together, we’ll begin to identify what approaches may be most helpful and create a plan that feels comfortable and tailored to your needs.
Clients often leave the first session with a sense of clarity, understanding, and direction. My goal is for you to feel heard, supported, and hopeful about the positive changes we can work toward together.
