Welcome—I’m so glad you’re here.
Life has a way of bringing challenges we never expected—whether it’s anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship struggles, or simply adjusting to new seasons of life. These experiences can leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward. Reaching out for support takes courage, and it’s an important step toward healing.
In counseling, my goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can process your experiences without judgment. I use a person-centered approach, which means our work is guided by your unique story and goals, along with cognitive behavioral strategies to help you recognize patterns, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and develop healthier ways to cope.
Therapy is not about having all the answers—it’s about creating space to slow down, reflect, and uncover tools that bring clarity, confidence, and peace. Together, we’ll work to strengthen your resilience, improve your well-being, and move toward a life that feels more balanced and meaningful.
I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Henderson State University and have worked in the mental health field for over 17 years. During that time, I’ve served in a variety of settings, including early childhood learning centers, school-based mental health programs, day treatment settings, and clinic/office environments. I’ve had the privilege of working with children, teens, adults, and families in many different capacities—beginning as a case manager, later stepping into my role as a therapist, and eventually being promoted to lead therapist with leadership and mentoring responsibilities. These experiences have helped shape my counseling style and strengthened my commitment to providing compassionate, practical, and individualized support.
Outside of my work, I love spending time in nature, whether that means hiking a trail, enjoying the outdoors with my two yellow Labradors, or simply soaking in the peace that comes from being outside. I also value time with family and friends, who bring joy and balance to my life. My Christian faith is an important part of who I am, and it influences the way I view both life and the counseling process—with hope, empathy, and the belief that every person has the ability to grow and heal.
