You constantly catch yourself thinking, "It's not supposed to be this way." The dreams and plans you created feel frail and like they are crumbling around you. Every day is exhausting as you work to keep it all together. You want to return to a place of joy and peace and know that there is still hope. You want a therapist who understands the stresses and strains of life and can help you rediscover joy. I am your person. I can help you sift through the hurts and rediscover the joy within. I am passionate about helping individuals and families find their voice. I believe in the power of our stories and that we can determine how every experience shapes us. I provide a safe place for you to learn to let go of perfection and be confident. My mission is to create a safe space for my clients to unpack their hurts and begin their healing journey. I am a therapist, school counselor, and a former elementary teacher. I am also a mom to three children adopted through foster care. I use my experiences to help individuals and families who are facing the challenges of adverse childhood experiences and the demands of navigating life.
