"Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. Truth and courage aren’t always comfortable, but they're never weakness."
— Brené Brown
Life can bring many challenging events that can cause pain, sadness, anger, self-doubt, confusion and despair. Through therapy, I believe that individuals can develop the ability to gain insight into these experiences, develop an increased capacity to deal with their emotions more effectively, and develop strengths and coping skills to process the past and move forward into the future with hope.

“Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. Instead, forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new way to remember. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future.”
-- Lewis B. Smedes
Relationships come with challenges, no matter what the relationship. I believe that there are invitations for growth all around us, and a big part of those invitations start with ourselves and learning to forgive ourselves as well as those around us. When my husband and I became foster parents, we learned quickly that forgiveness was a significant part of building the relationships between ourselves, our children, and their families of origin. It's a reciprocal relationship; forgiving ourselves supports our ability to give grace to others, answering invitations for growth.
As I work toward my master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, I hope to encourage clients to better understand their family systems and how to work through the challenges within. By learning the delicate art of forgiveness, both internally and externally, my goal is to give clients ways to build hope in their own relationships.

“So when you’re feeling weary, or hopeless, or spent, remind yourself that the darkness is being flooded by marvelous light. Yes, this is work. And it is good.”
-Danielle Coke
I am passionate about working with pre-teens, teens, and young adults to support their emotional well-being and healthy relationships. As someone with extensive experience working with children, and having children of my own, I am also passionate about supporting parents in the many ups and downs of parenthood, and supporting mothers in the tender post-partum months and years. My areas of interest include anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, life transitions, parenting, and relationship concerns.
My goal is to create a trusting and supportive relationship where you can feel free to be your full self. I believe this is the foundation of growth and progress. I offer a client-centered approach through social justice and family systems lenses. I offer individual and family therapy.
I know it can be daunting trying to find a therapist for yourself or your child. I will aim to make this process as simple as possible. Please feel free to reach out via email or phone. I look forward to meeting you!

If we can share our story with someone who responds with empathy and understanding, shame can’t survive.
- Brene Brown

My goal is to create a safe, non-judgemental environment where you can be your true self. I want to help my clients feel seen, heard, and understood. I want this to be a collaborative experience where we work together to meet your goals. I like to look at the whole picture from a systemic lens where all things are interconnected. I am passionate about working with a diverse range of clients. I want to cultivate a space where all are welcome to join me in this therapeutic journey regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexuality, culture or other identity.

“You are free to move around the room, to paint the walls a new color, and declare there is more to you.”
-Morgan Harper Nichols
Therapy is a collaborative approach to exploring and understanding who you are as a person and how you navigate the world. Therapy is a supportive journey of personal growth and transformation in order to create new experiences and lead a more fulfilling life.
I believe every person is doing the best they can and deserves a space to show up as themselves. My hope is that through building connection, we will cultivate insights and strategies that will allow you to grow. My work as a Marriage and Family practitioner is grounded in a systemic perspective, where the relationships, environments, and situations that exist are considered. I am committed to creating a sensitive and non-judgmental environment where you can explore challenges openly and collaboratively work towards healing.
