My Journey to Becoming a Therapist

My path to therapy started earlier than you might think. As a kid, I loved playing teacher with neighborhood children in my friend's playhouse — but what I really loved was watching people feel heard and begin to grow. As I got older, I found myself naturally gravitating toward listening, observing, and supporting friends through hard moments. Seeing someone gain confidence and start to believe in themselves? That never gets old.

​

My Area of Expertise

After earning my Master's degree in Counseling Psychology, I was fortunate to train in an environment that immersed me in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I discovered a deep passion for working with people who were highly suicidal or self-harming — walking alongside them as they moved from wanting to die to genuinely believing they could build a Life Worth Living. That work shaped everything. Over time, I've seen how DBT's emotion regulation skills can help a wide range of people build resilience and truly thrive.

How I Work With You

​

Most clients come in with two things at once: excitement about change and real anxiety about what that change will require. I hold both of those with you. Sometimes our work is about making changes — and sometimes it's about Acceptance, learning to be at peace with what is. Not everything needs to be fixed.

​

I work at the pace your nervous system can handle. We'll move intentionally, making sure that what shifts in our sessions actually sticks — in your daily life, and for years to come.

What Makes This Practice Unique

​

You do.

A Little About Me Outside the Office

​

When I'm not in session, you'll likely find me outdoors, lost in a good book (nothing work-related, I promise), exploring a new creative outlet, or spending time with my family. Faith is an important part of my life — I'm an active member of my church, where I serve in Student Ministries, on the Missions Committee, and as a Bible Study teacher.
