I earned my master’s degree in Psychology in 2005. Over the past 21 years, I have had the honor of sitting with people through some of their hardest, most uncertain times to extremely meaningful moments.

I discovered my passion for working with young adults during my internship at a university counseling center. This stage of life can be a time of tremendous growth—a time to heal from past experiences, discover passions, develop a stronger sense of identity, and begin shaping the life you want for yourself. I find it incredibly rewarding to walk alongside clients as they navigate both the challenges and possibilities of this time in their lives.

My career has also given me the opportunity to work with people across many stages of life. After graduation, I worked with children and families involved in foster care and adoption programs, as well as older adults in a group setting. In 2009, I began working with military-connected individuals. As a prior military dependent myself, I have personal understanding of some of the unique experiences that can accompany military life. Moving, adapting to frequent change, navigating new communities, and finding a sense of belonging can shape us in ways that aren’t always easy to explain. I found it meaningful to support others who were navigating experiences that were once familiar to me.

Most recently, my career came full circle when I returned to the university counseling center where I completed my internship. During my eight years there, I provided counseling and crisis services and supervised master’s-level counselors in training. I am excited to begin this next chapter in private practice.

I believe that feeling safe, understood, and accepted is essential to meaningful therapy. My hope is that you can come to our sessions as your authentic self, wherever you are in your journey, and that together we can explore what you need and where you want to go from here.
