Does life ever feel full of pain and suffering at every turn? Have you tried countless ways to get rid of painful emotions, memories, and urges? Do you feel anxious, or depressed, or that you can't control whatever life throws at you? Then you are not alone. Suffering is not meant to be done alone. As a counselor, I want to join you on your life's journey and be there for the ups and downs of the trek. Together, we can discuss the various life stressors that have brought you into counseling at this exact moment of your life. I strive to create a space that fosters growth, vulnerability, and safety as we work together. I have worked in the mental health field for two years. Throughout my experience, I have worked with individuals from 18-72 years old each with a unique story. I have experience with anxiety, depression, severe mental illness, life transitions, and grief. I offer an individualized treatment for each individual. If therapy is something you are interested in, let me first commend you. You have done a difficult thing. The unknown can be frightening, mainly when that comes to mental health. Striving for psychological well-being is a lifelong journey that is not achieved overnight and takes work. Sometimes it is enjoyable other times it is not and I will be there too.

Many of the students I work best with are navigating big changes—starting college, moving away from home, adjusting to new academic demands, or balancing school with work and relationships. These transitions can bring excitement, but they can also feel overwhelming. Often, students come to me dealing with anxiety, depression, or a sense of uncertainty about who they are and where they’re headed. In our work together, I use a trauma-informed approach, which means I prioritize creating a safe, respectful space where you feel heard and understood. I look at the whole person—your biology, your thoughts and emotions, your relationships, and your spiritual life if that’s important to you. Faith and spirituality can be integrated into our sessions as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. My goal is to help you adapt to college life, manage stress, and build tools that support both your mental health and your overall well-being. I want you to feel empowered to face challenges, develop resilience, and move toward the life you want to create.
