MSWI

Are you feeling overwhelmed, unsure where to start, or uncomfortable with your emotions? You're not alone, and you don’t have to navigate it all by yourself. I work with preteens, adolescents, adults, and couples facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life transitions. I also support individuals navigating blended family dynamics and those healing from religious trauma. With a background in healthcare, I bring a holistic understanding of how emotional and physical well-being intersect. Whether you're struggling in relationships, coping with loss, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, I offer a warm, grounded, and collaborative space to help you make sense of what you're experiencing and move toward healing.

I help my clients learn tools that allow them to manage life's difficulties in a way that is beneficial for them. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and difficult family dynamics, as well as supporting clients who feel overwhelmed or disconnected from their emotions. I have experience working with children and families and draw from DBT, CBT, the Unified Protocol (UP), EFT, and the Gottman Method. My style is compassionate, curious, and direct. I’ll meet you where you are and help you build insight, confidence, and resilience. 

If you're unsure where to begin, that’s okay... starting is often the hardest part. Whether you're working through painful experiences, intense emotions, or just feeling stuck, I’m here to help.
