My desire is to help people live to their fullest potential. To live an abundant life, both personally and relationally, one must be willing to face the hard and intimate things we often protect. I have learned firsthand that if things are not discussed openly, much damage can be done internally. I work to provide a safe, sacred space to explore and work through life’s sore spots and find ways to cultivate healing and transformation. I have a heart for healthy, authentic family communication, grief work, life transitions, sexuality, body image, sexual intimacy issues, and individuals in later adulthood.

I approach therapy with a family systems perspective. I incorporate Attachment Theory, trauma informed care, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy into sessions. I believe in the power of small steps in a consistent direction. I believe if people have the courage to face it and feel it, they can grow.
